The document provides guidance for a session aimed at building a richer picture of an organization using insights from data. It recommends considering what the organization does well, how it can improve, and what stakeholders want to know before doing analysis. It also suggests taking a 360 degree perspective when examining staff and student data by looking at different perspectives, balancing digital provision, and noting differences between demographic groups. Attendees are invited to provide questions and contributions during and after the session.
