Data Communities

Fuel your organization's Data Culture transformation with a data community

For organizations creating a Data Culture, data and analytics communities provide spaces for individuals to come together and reinforce shared values and behaviors, sparking the energy and support that is necessary to tip the scales and make cultural change stick.

Evangelize and inspire a new data mindset

Imagine if your people used data because they wanted to— not because they had to. Data communities give people dedicated space and time to share their stories. As a result, perceptions change and people start to associate data with improvement, success, and growth.

Nurture a more data literate, confident workforce

Everyone faces obstacles when learning something new. But data communities turn those obstacles into opportunities, giving novices a place to practice using data—all while supported by experts who offer empathic guidance and lead by example.

Uncover solutions and opportunities to innovate

Most problems worth solving with data aren’t limited to a single team or line of business. Data communities break down organizational silos, sparking ideas and fostering relationships that lead to cross-functional collaboration.

71% more respondents from organizations with enterprise-wide Data Cultures said activities that fostered data and analytics communities were very/extremely successful compared to their peers in data-aware organizations.
