  7. Lessons Learnt • Real time analysissaves time and increases understanding • A holistic approach to data collection takes more time but pays off in the long term • The need for various tools to engage with communities – not just tables of data • Maps • Visualisations • Narrative / Context

  8. Lessons Learnt • An iterative process to measuring outcomes is ok– indicators can be improved over time • More eyes on the data the better • Don’t forget the data gaps • Eg Family Violence indicator • Let people know what you want to measure • There’s no such thing as evidence based – only evidence influenced

  9. Lessons Learnt • Importance of comparisons • Similar communities (LGA) • Over time • LGA / State / National • Be willing to: • Let the data question your assumptions • Let your experience question the data

  10. Future Directions • Moving from interest to action • Clearly linking decisions to data • Ensuring that monitoring outcomes and using them to inform planning becomes part of everyday business • Evaluations using data linkage
