Tool

This tool is designed to help you make an honest assessment of how advanced your organisation is at dealing with data. You can compare your assessment with others from your own organisation, and from around the country.

It is intended to stimulate discussion, give ideas as to how you might improve and provide pointers to case studies and resources that will help. It will not be used to rank people or organisations.

The tool was launched in April 2018 as a prototype and your responses, along with general feedback, will be used to improve the tool in future years.
