<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">“Someone told us we need to do a survey,” the process often begins. A survey is only one piece of a data-driven strategic process, which really
begins with articulation of the core issue, and ends with an assessment of how the strategy worked. In this session we will learn the 12 stages of a data-driven process, and show a full illustration of a project. Participants will also learn how to put together
a simple one-page project planning brief. Takeaways: learn the 12 stages of a data-driven decision-making process; understand the basics of when to choose different methodologies such as surveys, focus groups, interviews, and more; practice developing a one-page
project planning brief.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
