Data maturity: consultancy

As your trusted sector partner, we have extensive understanding of the data challenges that our members and adjacent organisations face. We use our purpose-built, sector-designed data maturity discovery assessment to provide structure, clarity and scope.

Our consultants have hands-on experience in data, business intelligence and MIS in universities, colleges and training providers.

Bespoke services

We want to ensure our customers have visibility of their data landscape and are confident they understand where improvements could be made.

When you contact us, we will arrange a call to talk through your requirements. We will then produce a tailored, fully costed proposal that we believe will provide the best value and outcomes for the budget you have. We will then amend and adapt the proposal in partnership with you to ensure it best reflects your needs.

Activities can include the following:

• Discovery interviews
• The data maturity assessment
• Workshop facilitation
• Roadmap and service design proposals
• Data strategy development
• Reporting requirements approaches.

We may be able to help you in other ways. We have expertise across many areas of data and digital activity - just ask and we can advise how we can support you.

We are a not-for-profit organisation. We only cover our costs so that we ensure we offer our members and other customers value for money. This means you can choose what will provide you with the most value. This might include:

• Face to face time with our consultants, to facilitate your conversations
• Written reports to evidence investment needs
• Next step summaries to engage your colleagues

All proposals include project management and project assurance activity.
