Your team uses the results of the self-assessment to identify what you need to improve to effectively plan for, develop and disseminate data products to better promote data use. The information is used to help set priorities for your action planning and development and for dissemination strategies.
Specifically, you determine that you have adequately identified all your stakeholder groups, but that you need to gather more input from some of them, particularly program/district administrators and service providers, on their data needs in the general areas of accountability, program management and operations, and program improvement. You decide to form a small work group, including stakeholders, to plan and prioritize the development of standard and ad hoc reports. You will consider multiple approaches to present data, including data visualization to create engaging data displays. You also decide that you need input on how best to disseminate these data products. Finally, you determine the need to identify and develop the supporting documentation to assist local programs/districts in their interpretation and use of the data.
