In this webinar, Mayor Corey Woods of Platinum-Certified Tempe, Arizona, shares how to help your city’s leaders prioritize the use of data and build a data culture that doesn’t leave office when your mayor does.
It’s no secret that new mayors often come in eager to pursue their own priorities. The shift in leadership can leave current city programs, services and initiatives in a precarious position. Mayor Woods knows a thing or two about combining new ideas with existing data practices: Tempe first achieved What Works Cities Certification in 2020 under Mayor Woods’s predecessor. Since then, the City has continued to invest in citywide data practices. The result? In 2023, Tempe became one of only five Platinum-Certified cities ever.
How can city staff navigate these transitions, ensure that their work remains relevant, and build sustainable data practices that will outlast any administration?
This webinar will help city staff:
-Maintain data practices during leadership changes.
-Align data practices with new leadership priorities.
-Build data infrastructure that lasts across administrations.
