Data maturity assessment

The data maturity assessment will help you to gather the opinions of your colleagues and provide insight into the areas where you could make improvements.

Self assessment maturity pilot

We are running a self assessment maturity pilot using our prototype question set with higher and further education sector providers in the UK and internationally. This pilot will inform the development of a web-based tool which we intend to make available to Jisc members.

We will run a second phase of the pilot in autumn 2025. If you are interested in participating, please register your interest using this online form.

Jisc consultancy services also use the prototype assessment question set as part of discovery engagements. Please contact us if you are interested in this service.

Contact your relationship manager to find out how we can support you.

Discover your own maturity

The assessment includes questions for each element of the data maturity framework: data strategy, data governance, processes and systems, reporting and decision making.

The questions should be answered by people in the roles responsible for these areas.

Perspectives

Everyone views their organisation through a different lens. This varies based on job role, function, experience in the organisation, even how sympathetic (or not) an individual may be to cultural challenges.

As you decide who should complete the data maturity assessment, consider not just job roles but how your stakeholders view your university or college, the relevance of data and reporting to their roles, their likely enthusiasm for change and how this may influence their answers.
