Transforming Organisational Performance Through Data

A senior leadership event for charities, membership bodies and mission-driven organisations to support data-led strategic decision making

Senior leaders are expected to make confident, defensible decisions - often without timely, trusted insight to support them.

Boards want assurance.
Investment cases need to stand up to scrutiny.
Strategy demands evidence.

Yet for many organisations, data still arrives too late, tells conflicting stories, or fails to answer the questions leadership is actually asking.

This half-day leadership event is designed for CEOs, COOs and Directors who know data should be supporting strategy, performance and investment decisions but isn’t doing so consistently today.

Rather than focusing on tools or technology, the session explores how leadership teams can create clarity, alignment and confidence around data so decisions are faster, risks are clearer and strategy is supported by robust evidence.

Over time, the absence of this clarity erodes confidence: in decisions, in priorities, and in the organisation’s ability to evidence impact.

This event creates space for senior leaders to step back and ask a more fundamental question:

How should data really support leadership, performance and strategy in our organisation?

This event is:

• A leadership-level conversation about decision-making and organisational performance
• An exploration of how data should enable strategy
• A chance to sense-check your organisation’s direction with peers facing similar pressures

What you’ll gain

By the end of the session, leaders will:

• Have greater clarity on what “good” looks like for data at leadership level
• Understand why many data initiatives fail to influence decisions - even with modern systems in place
• Be better equipped to ask the right questions of teams, suppliers and advisors
• Gain confidence in where to focus attention and investment (and where not to)
• Leave with clearer thinking to take back into board, budget and strategy discussions

Who should attend

This event is designed for senior leaders, including:

• CEOs and Managing Directors
• COOs and Executive Directors
• Finance Directors and CFOs
• Trustees with strategic or audit responsibility
• Heads of Digital, Data or Transformation working closely with SLT

It is particularly relevant if your organisation is:

• Entering a new strategic or planning cycle
• Considering major investment (CRM, data platforms, AI, digital transformation)
• Struggling to turn data into timely, trusted insight
• Experiencing increasing board-level scrutiny around performance or impact
