In the data, a story
Digging, slicing and dicing your way to a compelling narative
Many if not most organizations consume and publish data regularly. There is an abundance of data providers out there, from private companies to public agencies.
But what do you do when you need more than raw data and statistics alone? What if facts and figures actually work against you when you do the tedious work of providing them? These are valid questions we hear everyday from cities, counties and regions looking to grow employment or influence policy.
We put together a few good snippets of recent analysis eImpact has completed on behalf of its clients. Our goal is always to understand the real world conditions of a place in order to give data context and hopefully, a meaningful message.
A few examples of analysis performed by eImpact
Workforce Specialization
In a region where some economic indicators don't tell a great story, the right data can be the perfect attention grabber. In the example below, the comparative strength in one workforce specialization has proven to be an effective business attraction asset.
Communicating Housing Affordability
How can you create effective policy without understanding the issue based on real data? This was the question our client asked themselves before turning to us for help running the numbers. By providing stakeholders with a picture of the current affordability landscape, they were able to help move the issue forward towards a policy solution.
