Strategies For Using Data The Right Way In Mid-Sized Jurisdictions

Less than half of respondents to a Center for Digital Government (CDG) survey targeting mid-sized cities and counties rate their organization’s use of data in decision-making as "effective" or "very effective." This is despite the fact that increasing the use of data in decision-making was their top listed priority.

Local governments know that data is a critical part of better serving constituents, making intelligent decisions around where to allocate resources, and more. But many mid-sized jurisdictions struggle with making the best use of data, largely due to too many manual data processes and not enough staff skilled in data practices. They are also challenged by data security, difficulties integrating data, and the lack of appropriate data tools.
