Description

Executive Summary for Data Collection & Analysis (DCA) Training For many departments, assembling the data elements for a Community Risk Assessment (CRA) can be a challenging and daunting task. Efforts to pull together community and organizational specific data, analyzing and presenting such in a meaningful format can many times fall flat. Varying levels of expertise within the organization can have significant impact on selecting the proper data elements, understanding where to easily access them and incorporating visualizations into an easily readable document. The 2-day Data Collection & Analysis training breaks this process down into a linear set of well-defined and manageable tasks to draft a basic CRA. Students use various organizational data sets along with Vision 20/20’s intuitive training, tools and proprietary template to quickly and efficiently draft their CRA, setting the foundation for organizational CRR planning and implementation. The Data Collection & Analysis training was developed with Vision 20/20’s philosophy to Educate, Equip & Engage and is a strategic investment to build a vital skillset for current and future fire service leaders. Learning objectives • Organize a variety of data elements and their relationships into meaningful segments related to your organization and community • Apply the fundamentals of data analysis such as advanced Excel functions, pivot tables, RMS, and practical statistics to build components of your Community Risk Assessment • Demonstrate the ability to communicate data insights effectively to stakeholders using data storytelling and visualizations What students are saying about Vision 20/20’s Data Collection & Analysis training Over my 29-year career I have attended many different classes and conferences. The classes I have attended in the past have provided generalized information on the topics being presented. The data analysis class put on by Vision 20/20 was by far the most impactful class I have attended. This class really brought Community Risk Reduction full circle and has provided me a different mindset on data and program development. The hands-on portion of this class was extremely valuable and gave me the tools to return to my organization with a much better mindset for decision making. Great Class!! That doing a CRA doesn't have to be as hard as it seems. This was one of the most helpful class I've ever taken in the fire service. I would recommend this class to anyone trying to do a CRA. Vision 20/20 is the best thing to happen to the fire service ever, as far as I'm concerned. Thanks again for your time and dedication to the fire service. If we want to make an impact on our community by making it safer, we must have data to prove to our organization what fire and life safety programs must be put in place. A CRA is vital tool that every fire department should have in place. Vision 20/20 does an excellent job with this class!
