What isÌýData and Insight?

The role of Data and Insight is to help ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº staff to make better decisions using data. Whether we are based in the central Data and Insight team, or another professional service or Vice-Provost office, data and insight professionals at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº combine an understanding of data management, science, engineering, analysis and visualisation with a drive to help embed a data and insight-driven culture at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº, and the ability to communicate clearly and effectively with a diverse and demanding set of internal customers. Ìý

We are focused on helping ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº staff make better decisions, using leading data and business intelligence technologies to deliver sector-leading analysis and insight to support ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº 2034. Data and Insight professionals will also be valuable members of the Data and Insight Community of Practice, working collaboratively with the community to develop cross-¹û¶³Ó°Ôº innovation and good practice. We work with colleagues from different departments across ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº; collaborate closely with colleagues in Information Services; and are active contributors in the implementation of ¹û¶³Ó°Ôºâ€™s Data and Insight Strategy. We also network within the data and insight field, in higher education and beyond.Ìý

We use both technical and communicative skills to help embed the cultural importance of good quality data, and combine subject matter expertise with technical fluency, project management skills and an entrepreneurial spirit. The balance of colleagues’ technical expertise will vary: some will be big-data engineers; some will be data management or governance professionals; some will be data storytellers. However, we all have excellent critical-thinking skills, good data intuition, curiosity, a bias to action - and impeccable standards which are recognised as outstanding by customers and peers. Above all we value listening to customers of data and delivering what they need, when they need it.
