Data Mindset Framework


What is the Data Mindset Framework?

A systematic approach to think differently about situations to provide a data-driven approach to problem solving.

Why a Data Mindset Framework?

Too often problem solving starts with a vaguely defined problem and then jumps to conclusions. This process allows for individuals to properly define and investigate the problem prior to providing appropriate solutions.

What is the POWER of Data?

  • Starts conversations that can lead to action.
  • Convenes diverse stakeholders.
  • Levels the playing field for a conversation.
  • Defines a dilemma that is measurable and actionable.
  • Creates connections.
  • Is objective if presented correctly.
  • Allows everyone to be part of the conversation.
