THE CHALLENGE
Collecting data is only the first challenge. Understanding that data, knowing if it’s accurate, and using it to answer the right questions is equally as critical. Often organizations don’t know whether the data they’re collecting is relevant or if it’s being used the right way.
Our solution
Kitman Labs’ Data Health offering is made up of three core parts:

The Performance Science Index (PSI) gives teams a clear picture of their data collection processes in one place, and allows the team to see where they sit in reference to their peers and what improvements can be made to reach specific outcomes.
Data Quality Review
Data Quality Review provides a clear picture of the quality of a team’s data, and its usability for analytics to help answer questions they are most interested in while giving clear next steps on how to improve the quality of their data.
Data for Analytics Audit
Our Data for Analytics Audit provides an objective comparison of the level of data collection presumed to be happening within the organization vs the actual practice.
