What's in it for you?

At ecda we live and breathe data, and we recognise that is not the case for every organisation within the county – and we’re here to help! ecda can support you to achieve your data ambitions, whether that’s developing your analytical capability, expanding your capacity to join data and deliver new analytics projects, understanding the potential of your data, or supporting you to establish the foundations of your data analytics approach.

Looking for inspiration?

We host Show and Share events every two weeks, they are a source of information and an opportunity to find out what’s possible with the data your organisation holds. Contact us for more information.

Professional development

ecda’s unique partnership with Essex Police, Essex County Council and the University of Essex provides access to  formal training and continued professional development, there’s something for everyone that works with data. Contact us for more information.

Peer support 

Quarterly Be Part of the Equation networking events enable data colleagues across the system an opportunity to meet colleagues online, develop skills, gain insight, problem solve and collaborate.

In addition, the ecda Methods Board has been set up to work with data colleagues across Essex throughout the lifecycle of a project, who may benefit from some support and review of analytical work they are doing. It provides an opportunity for all those involved to develop a greater understanding of a range of methods within the analysts’ tool kit – this applies to both members and those involved in projects.
