Many small organisations are nervous about delving into quantitative data collection and analysis and often just scratch the surface due to lack of confidence or skills. This session will cover the quantitative data essentials and ensure participants leave the session feeling more confident and equipped with the tools to start collecting, analysing and using quantitative data.

Subjects covered include:

· Understanding what quantitative data is and when to use it

· Data sources and data collection methods

· Basic analysis techniques to help describe your data

· Pictorial description of data – essential charts

· Potential pitfalls – how much data is “enough”?

· Using data to draw conclusions and support decision-making
