Approach > Data informed
Ad Hoc teams bring tools and methodologies that enable leaders to make data-informed decisions. We help agencies leverage data to:
Data can’t tell you the full story of your challenges and solutions. It's never going to show you exactly what to do next. But together with experienced professionals and a clear vision led by product thinking, data can be a powerful decision-making tool.
Ad Hoc’s data informed methodology is based on the industry-leading CRoss-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) and is grounded in our firm belief that people are at the heart of any successful data-informed initiative.
With support from Ad Hoc, agencies can effectively interpret data, create testable hypotheses, and use data to inform critical decisions.
By combining previously isolated data sources into a COVID-19 digital response dashboard, we helped the VA better invest time and resources into helping Veterans.
Being data-informed requires government agencies and teams to think about data as a strategic asset and to think holistically about the value data can provide. Every digital service has the potential to create, consume, and publish data to other systems.
Making that step requires agencies to think about their data as both an insight driver and a service or product enabler. By maximizing the value of their data, government agencies can build all kinds of data product features, tools, and platforms.
