What went well…• Established clear process of requesting and
releasing data• Established “Master” reports to pull from• Established processes that allowed team to adjust
priorities at a moment’s notice• Established a process of validation and checking
to ensure data accuracy• Data calendar representing the flow of data
(internal and external) was established

What didn’t go so well…
Appetite was so ferocious staff could not keep up• Turned into a data request “sweat shop”
Important areas were neglected• Alignment of systems • Support of the offices
o Data interpretation and assistance
SLDS Webinar 8-21-13 15

Moving away from a data request “sweat shop”
• Re-alignment of teams• Allocation of more staff• Focus on teaming with IT to automate
o Cubeso Standard Reports
• Re-establishing support of the offices via liaisons as well as cross departmental committee meetings
