Performance Analytics: Tools & Techniques
Provides local government employees foundational skills to understand and implement open data and performance analytics programs in their communities
This online course equips local government employees with the necessary knowledge and tools to understand, promote, and implement open data and performance analytics programs in their cities. It allows participants to:
- Leverage data to improve budget, operational, and policy decision making

This training is provided by the Johns Hopkins University's Center for Government Excellence as part of the Bloomberg Philanthropies' What Works Cities initiative. It best serves supervisors and mid-level managers who want to explore how open data, performance analytics, and other data practices can benefit their government or organization and those who are looking for analytics training that challenge them to think beyond spreadsheets and performance measures. It is currently open to city staff participating in What Works Cities.
