Data Maturity Assessment Impact Report 2022

 
 

In this report we present findings from our 2022 Data Maturity Assessment Impact Evaluation Survey. The survey aims to test our theory of change for the Data Maturity Assessment Tool. It follows our previous 2020 Impact Report.

We asked about users’ experience of taking a data maturity assessment and any benefits they experienced or actions they took as a result of taking an assessment.

Key findings

  • People, commonly, take a data maturity assessment at least in part to learn more about data maturity. When they have taken a data maturity assessment they are likely to agree that they have learned about data maturity

  • Taking a data maturity assessment prompts sharing and discussions about data within organisations

  • Efforts to secure financial resources to implement improvements following a data maturity assessment are almost always successful

  • Around 40% of organisations go on to implement a data strategy after taking an assessment

  • Overall findings are similar to our previous impact survey results from 2020

  • Organisational Data Maturity Assessments appear to have more extensive benefits than Individual Data Maturity Assessments

The results of Data Orchard’s 2022 Impact Analysis of the Data Maturity Assessment Tool were similar to the 2020 findings: The tool is regularly used for learning about data maturity, and taking an assessment is often a catalyst for discussion with colleagues which can lead to further action.
