Data Dashboarding

  • Build data partnerships, metrics and visualization.

  • Develop community data dashboards and decision making tools.

  • Advance data driven communications and storytelling

Timely, accurate, and accessible data empowers individuals, leaders, and organizations to take collective action and change our communities for the better. In today’s complex and rapidly changing world, data is being generated at unprecedented rates. For community decision makers, it can be challenging to translate complex, often siloed, data into collective narratives, action, and impact.  Community dashboards aggregate and clearly communicate critical data to inform decision-making, track community wellbeing, understand the efficacy of public and private efforts and investments, and catalyze high impact partnerships. 

LegacyWorks Group convenes public-private collaboratives to vision, build, and maintain place-based community dashboards. Our dashboard collaborations empower communities with the real-time information needed to take action and adapt decisions to affect positive change. Access to key data, established baselines, and regular updates can guide targeted and equitable community efforts, while creating a replicable process and model that peer areas can readily implement to enable local and regional success.

Creating a community dashboard is a highly collaborative community effort. LegacyWorks’ community dashboard collaboratives help build relationships and trust across sectors, growing local and regional capacity to collaborate on bigger and more complex issues.
