Data Analytics

Data Analytics is the process of analyzing data to identify patterns, trends, and insights that can help organizations make data-driven decisions. Data analysis can help organizations improve operational efficiency, customer experiences, and gain a competitive edge. Organizational Performance provides leadership for the city's data analytics program, providing support in two key areas: Data Project Support and Data Mentoring. 

Data Project Support

When a data project exceeds the capacity of departmental resources, our department provides internal services and functional area expertise where needed. To request analyst services please submit a GlendaleOne request under the Analytics Requests service request type.

Data Mentoring

Data mentoring is a structured relationship between a mentor and a mentee that provides support, feedback, and advice to help the mentee achieve their learning goals. Our data mentoring program is designed to help city employees boost their skills, confidence, and understanding of data related topics, tools and technology. Contact the Business intelligence and Analytics Officer for the city of Glendale to learn more about data mentoring opportunities.

Data Analyst Network Group

Data Analyst Network Group (DANG!)

Are you a data enthusiast? Look no further than DANG!  The purpose of this networking group is to create strong professional connections between Glendale employees who analyze data on a regular basis or simply appreciate the value data can bring to an organization.  Each quarter, the Department of Organizational Performance hosts a DANG! networking event that provides attendees the opportunity to collaborate with other data-minded professionals and receive data related training, education, and hands-on learning experiences.

GlendaleViz

GlendaleViz

Are you an aspiring data aficionado that's ready to put your analysis and storytelling skills to the test? GlendaleViz might be exactly what you're looking for! Annually, our department hosts an open competition for employees of any skill level to present a compelling story using data. This contest is designed to help Glendale employees expand their skills in data visualization. Each competitor is given the same data set approximately 30 days prior to the competition as well as access to the visualization tool of their choice...Tableau, Power Bi, Excel, you choose! 

Competitors then dive headfirst into a treasure trove of data and are provided with a mentor to help craft a data story that'll leave jaws dropped and minds blown! After presenting their data stories to the audience and a panel of judges, each contestant will receive a prize for their participation.  Although no prize can take the place of the experience gained or bragging rights as the annual GlendaleViz champion! Contact the Business intelligence and Analytics Officer for the city of Glendale to learn more about this personal development opportunity.

What previous participants have to say:

“I hadn’t ever used Tableau before I participated in GlendaleViz. I’m so glad I was encouraged to learn a new tool. I’m now able to comfortably use Tableau to create meaningful dashboards for department team members. It was a great experience!”


- Keri Konold, 2023 GlendaleViz Champion

“The knowledge and skills I gained as a GlendaleViz participant was well worth the time and effort!  It’s not about winning or losing, it’s about excelling your skills in data visualization!”
