Our evergreen themes:
- Enable the organization’s leadership and teams to measure their progress and make strategic data-informed decisions - a.k.a. to deliver actionable insights.
- Increase our impact by increasing data adoption through improved availability and accessibility of business-critical data, reducing the volunteer cold-start and empowering those curious to explore and ask more questions.
- Future-proof what and how we build (e.g. infrastructure, team and processes) to ensure we’re laying appropriate foundations for a robust data strategy for the organization
