Data governance & forecasting

With proper data governance, courts can confidently leverage data insights to inform policy decisions and create performance measures. Governance can also help courts develop strategic plans and make effective arguments for increased judicial resources and budget and staffing allocations to address current and future needs.

State court leaders turn to us for authoritative guidance on a range of court administration topics. Our comprehensive work with courts across the country informs our deep understanding of current trends and issues and guides our recommendations for best practices and other widely accepted methodologies to best suit your specific needs.

Our portfolio of data governance and forecasting projects includes: 

• Developing data governance plans
• Addressing data quality issues
• Creating public-use policies
• Optimizing data warehouses
• Using data effectively to improve court performance and court management 

With each project, our team works closely with you to understand your primary goals and objectives, timelines and milestones, potential challenges, and desired outcomes. 

In most cases, our process starts with a thorough review of your current data governance, access policies, and data quality. We may conduct interviews and/or surveys to understand how data are collected and used. Stakeholder workshops are sometimes used to give additional insights to inform our findings and recommendations.
