Knowledge to Action
Taking knowledge and turning it into action.
As part of our commitment to building community capacity, Data Informed Futures provides wrap-around support to help ensure our suite of measures can help communities be effective in improving outcomes. Our highly accessible team of experts has extensive experience in helping translate data into knowledge and action. With our local one-on-one coaching and our hosted national learning network, communities can build a roadmap for local action, and support local leaders engaged in collective and data-informed decision-making.
