Analysis across the sector
Your Current Stage
Emerging
Analyses starting to explore client characteristics and target audiences.
May include use of external research relating to the context e.g. to evidence scale of need/problems.
Basic analysis, using counts and spreadsheets.
People verbally report on data as part of strategic discussions.
Analysis and report creation skills are being explored though results may be variable.
Bar charts and pie charts may be the only types of analytical presentations.
The next stage up for your organisation is
Learning
Whole-organisation analyses are beginning to be performed on an ad-hoc basis.
Beginning to focus on what analysis is meaningful and useful.
Starting to identify what data should be routinely analysed and potentially automated.
Analysis is mostly descriptive about what happened in the past e.g. summarising the overview, averages, variation, range.
Comparative trend analysis is starting to be conducted over time (perhaps on an annual basis).
Exploration and use of filters and cross tabs are being used to delve further into data.
Data is manually collated in reports using data from different sources.
Data is manually reworked for presentation in written reports for different internal/external audiences.
Learning how to create more sophisticated graphs and presentations of the data (though audiences may find them difficult to interpret and understand).
