Case Study 011. South Asian Youth Action (SAYA!) Mentor Summaries: Step 3
Step 3 - Prep Data
I identified the sources of information needed to make the reports and I began collecting the raw data. Since this was a report that would have to be updated on a weekly basis, I made sure to organize the data files in such a way that they could be updated quickly. I had to ensure that all of the columns for each category of data would line up exactly, every time.

Step 5 - Publish
Having finished the design and build out process, I moved on to producing the individualized reports. At each team meeting, I printed out a hard copy report for each mentor. The entire report fit on a single sheet of paper (printed front and back). I also emailed them a PDF soft copy. All of the information on each mentor’s report was specific to the mentees in their own caseload. Throughout the school day, the mentors held one-on-one meetings with their mentees. During these meetings, mentors often referred directly to to the printed reports I had produced for them. The mentors told me that the new reports were very helpful to them in communicating with their mentees and keeping them focused on their goals.

Case Study 001. GCCS Dashboard: Step 5
Step 5 - Publish
I published the dashboard online using Tableau. Board members and school leaders could access their new dashboard on any computer or mobile device from anywhere in the world. Once the dashboard was in use, I noticed a big change in the way Board meetings were conducted—rather than using the meetings to gather information as they had before, now, since they had up-to-data information constantly available to them through the dashboard, every member arrived at the meeting already conversant in the data. The meetings went from an exercise in simply finding out what’s happening and turned into a forum to discuss why things are happening. Thanks to the dashboard, Board meetings were now more directly focused on finding solutions.
