Your Network's Current Stage

Learning

  • Data is starting to be recognised as important at a more senior level.
  • People across the organisation are starting to talk about how they can work together to deliver better data for decision making.
  • Beginning to ask challenging questions of the data: why? What’s changing? what difference are we making? (mostly about the past.)
  • Access to data may be limited by default rather than design.
  • People would like to share more but may be constricted by access/permissions/cultural barriers.
  • Some data insights are shared with partners, networks, and in the public domain.
  • Data protection and security policies are in place.
  • Senior management have some limited understanding of legislation and the organisation’s responsibilities.

The next stage up for your network is

Developing

  • The whole organisation is starting to use and share data. People from different teams/levels of seniority regularly discuss data and how to act on it.
  • Specialist staff in some teams are starting to use data to ask difficult questions, challenging assumptions, practices and impact.
  • Concepts of right and wrong (ethics) are being considered, particularly in relation to personal data.
  • Data and analysis is becoming more available and accessible to staff though may require some intervention by specialists to provide this.
  • External data sharing is done on an aggregated basis and insights are shared including some shared measures and benchmarks.
  • Exploring how data could be shared with clients on an individual basis as part of service delivery.
  • Policies and practices are well established to ensure data is safeguarded (e.g. rules on passwords, how data is stored, rights/privileges to access organisational and client data).
  • Risks have been identified though may not have been tested.
  • Systems have been created to ensure data about identifiable individuals is deleted when no longer necessary and respond to subject access requests.
  • Board and senior management keep abreast of current legislation and best practice.
