For the last fifteen months Nancy and I have been working with users and producers of statistics to develop a user engagement strategy for statistics.
The strategy sets out a plan of action for building a more meaningful and sustained dialogue between producers, users and potential users of statistics. Its principles are widely relevant to anyone conducting analysis across different professions.
We want to spread the word about the value of user engagement, in the midst of a pandemic, more than ever. We’ve highlighted five important things we want you to remember about user engagement. You might know some of them already – if so, then perhaps share them with your colleagues as well!
