F13 - From Spreadsheets to Strategy: Building Organizational Analytics Capability

Tuesday, April 28, 2026

4:00 PM - 5:00 PM MDT

Location: 505

If your organization's data work feels foggy, driven by outside demands, and not especially useful, this session is for you. We'll introduce the newly released National Council Organizational Analytics Capability Self-assessment Handbook-a practical tool for building analytics capability in health care organizations. You'll learn how to assess your current capability across six domains and turn the results into a clear, prioritized plan. You'll leave with a readiness screening, guidance on forming the right team, and simple prioritization tools-so you can move from reactive reporting to proactive decision-making that supports better outcomes and operational performance in value-based care.

Learning Objectives:

Review the core concepts of the Organizational Analytics Capability Model, including the six attribute framework and five-level capability scale, to understand how organizational analytics capabilities are systematically assessed and developed.
Demonstrate the use of the OACM readiness screening and team formation tools to determine organizational preparedness for conducting a comprehensive analytics capability assessment.
Formulate a prioritized action plan for implementing an assessment that identifies analytics capability gaps using the handbook's strategic prioritization framework, considering organizational resources, regulatory requirements, and operational impact.
