About us

Our mission is clear.
We help organizations make sense of their data.

Throughout our careers, we’ve seen what data can do. Data helps organizations take things to the next level or causes analysis paralysis.

That’s where we come in. We’re a skilled team of savvy analysts, data scientists, and leaders that can help organizations through every stage of their growth. For some organizations, that means we help them manage and visualize their data using all the latest innovative technology. For other organizations, we help them think about risk, and we help them come to decisions using their data as a complement to their wisdom and experience. For some of our clients, we work on retainer to maintain their data infrastructure and provide them with elegant, printed reports and up-to-date dashboards. For other clients, we engage in task-specific contracts to help them solve an individual problem or evaluate a single program.

Some of the common things we hear from people we work with are:
“It's tough to analyze and interpret the data fast enough to take action.”
“Our analysts are technically sound, but they lack the ability to see the bigger picture."
“Our data is everywhere and it's frustrating, time consuming and confusing to pull together and make it meaningful.”
“We’ve invested in an important initiative and are not sure if it’s yielding enough of a return on investment.”

We help these organizations in several ways including:
Developing dashboards and printed reports that clearly communicate important information.
Consulting with executive leadership to help manage risk and use data for wise decision making.
Building a data infrastructure that ensures data is usable, accessible and secure.
Conducting a thorough program evaluation by engaging multiple stakeholders and pulling in multiple data sources.

We have extensive experience and content expertise in public education along with experience in higher education, sales, consulting, IT, retail and manufacturing. If you’d like to learn more, we’d be happy to buy you a cup of coffee or set up a virtual meeting. It shouldn’t take more than an hour for us to figure out whether to part ways or start putting pen to paper.
