Data Literacy, Analysis, & Visualization Workshops

The Department of State's work covers a vast spectrum of functional work and foreign policy activities, and we are aiming to encourage Department employees at all levels within the organization to embrace a data-driven culture. We are therefore looking to offer a repeatable series of workshops delivered to two difference audiences: analysts who produce data analysis and executives and managers who consume data analysis to inform decision and policy making. FSI is seeking subject matter experts to design and deliver highly interactive workshops to expand data literacy for Department employees. We aim to procure three distinct workshops for two types of employees: 1) those who are producers of data analysis (typically program analysts and employees who synthesize, analyze, and produce presentations to be consumed by Department leaders and policy makers) and 2) those who are consumers of data analysis (typically managerial and executive-level employees who must make decisions based on the information given to them and must direct the aforementioned "producers" to perform analysis that suits their needs.) The intent is to augment existing in-house training by tapping outside expertise in the data field to provide three distinct data literacy, data analysis, and data visualization workshops to a broad spectrum of Department employees.
