Data-driven leadership: enabling smarter decisions for social change

As a leader, do you find yourself being asked to do more – whilst having less resource to achieve this and having greater burden placed on you to prove your organisational impact? Data may well be your most underused leadership asset.

Join us for a dynamic session where we’ll demystify how data can drive better decisions, smarter strategies, and deeper social impact. Learn from peers, gain clarity on your data journey, and leave equipped to lead your team through transformation – no matter where you’re starting from

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

• feel inspired by the transformational benefits of effective data usage for organisations of all shapes and sizes
• clearly understand how data can inform better decision-making, spark innovation, enable collaboration, and turbocharge social impact
• gain practical knowledge of how to build a data-informed, curiosity-driven culture 
• learn how CEOs and senior leaders can overcome common organisational blockers, such as legacy systems, data aversion, and resource constraints
• understand how to ensure data influences board-level conversations and organisational strategy
• develop knowledge of what good data maturity looks like, and the tools, techniques, and actions that can drive incremental improvement
• acquire a practical toolkit and a high-level action plan to take forward on their data maturity journey
• build connections with a new peer group of leaders to support and collaborate with as they implement their plans
