Emerging

  • Data is seen as the responsibility of ‘someone else’, usually in an administrative role.
  • Recognition that data should be collected but it is not seen as a ‘whole team’ activity.
  • Data mostly sought out and used to support and evidence what the organisation already believes or knows.
  • Organisation’s culture doesn’t encourage data sharing across teams, though this may occur occasionally verbally or via reports.
  • Data never shared externally except for legal/contractual reporting purposes.
  • Basic policies for data protection and security may be in place but not monitored or enforced.

Learning

  • 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.
