State Agency

Challenge

While significant investments were being made across agencies, programs, and funding sources, workforce data was fragmented, making it difficult to understand the total cost of investment, areas of overlap, and how spending aligned to outcomes.

Approach

We partnered with the client through a structured, phased data analysis engagement,

designed to deliver immediate insight while establishing a foundation for future analytics and reporting.

Statewide Data Discovery & Inventory

We worked with the client to conduct data discovery across targeted state agencies, inventorying workforce-related expenditure data. This included reviewing executive budgets, expenditure data, and agency-provided inputs to assess availability, completeness, and consistency.

Analysis & Insight Development

Using the collected data, we analyzed workforce investments by agency, investment type, and target population—highlighting concentration areas, gaps, and limitations in existing data structures. The analysis focused on what could be reliably quantified while clearly documenting where data constraints existed.

Findings & Recommendations

We synthesized the work into a comprehensive Workforce Data Analysis & Findings report, outlining key insights and prioritized recommendations to improve data coordination, standardization, and future reporting capabilities across agencies.
