“ One of the greatest privileges of being a leader is giving people the opportunity to learn and develop .”
Continuous development is a huge focus point for Barnardo ’ s . Not just from an operational perspective , but for those who are supported by the charity . The provision of a great service spans the entire organisation and its work is never done .
Even across the data and insight team , progress is key for the greatest outcomes . Nevertheless , Martins-Tonks recognises the great milestones of the team as steps in the right direction .
“ The key is being able to embed the use of data to help us with our primary function to support children and young people so they can enjoy better outcomes and opportunities in their lives ,” says Martins-Tonks .
“ We ’ ve got a whole load of metrics that we ’ re measuring in the programme , in terms of how much people are using data , how much value they ’ re getting from it , and the time they ’ re saving by using more efficient data products .” technologymagazine . com 165
