One Year Later – Overview of Must-Do’s for Implementing the Federal Data Strategy
With enactment of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act in early 2019 and new requirements taking effect, a growing need exists for senior leaders across the federal government to understand the law’s implications and how to meaningfully apply data governance and management models. This course introduces key concepts from the Federal Data Strategy to senior leaders and demonstrates how their teams can manage and use data more effectively.
This course will be delivered virtually via five two and a half hour sessions over a five day period.
Faculty: Nick Hart, Megan Humphreys, Tyler Kleykamp, and Amy O’Hara
