ISDM CDSSI Data Maturity Assessment

ISDM’s Data Maturity Assessment (DMA) seeks to understand current data readiness among SPOs. It focuses on their knowledge, capability and willingness to utilise data effectively. The DMA also attempts to uncover the underlying reasons and barriers that prevent SPOs from using data to inform their strategies, operations, and impact.

Data Maturity Self-assessment Toolkit

It is a 30 to 45-minute assessment which will help the organisation quickly benchmark and evaluate its data maturity.
Each organisation will receive a customised report based on their score. This report will offer recommendations and resources to help plan, prioritise, and strengthen data capabilities for better decision-making and organisational resilience.
It will be accessible to any non-profit registered as a society, trust, section-8 company, or voluntary organisation.
