In an age where data-driven decision-making is needed more than ever, understanding where agencies' current data falls short is the first step to using data to support strategic activities. This session demonstrated practical methods for assessing existing data frameworks and recognizing underexplored areas that could lead to better outcomes. We explored innovative data collection techniques to fill these gaps and enrich decision-making processes.
