Is your organization ready to leverage data strategically? Many grantmaking organizations struggle with fragmented data systems, unclear governance, and untapped potential in their data assets. In this interactive workshop, we'll share insights from TAG's data maturity assessment survey and explore where your organization stands on its data journey.
Whether you're just starting to think about data governance or ready to formalize existing practices, this event will help you understand your organization’s state of data maturity and chart a path forward alongside your peers.
This members-only workshop is the first of a planned 3-part series.
