Exploring our relationship to data and evidence

An important part of design and innovation for equity and intergenerational wellbeing is considering how we think about evidence, and the kinds of evidence needed to support learning, experimentation and decision- making in complex settings. We may need to challenge, or at least explore and question assumptions and norms about evidence, how it is constituted, who validates knowledge, what knowledge systems are privileged and who gets to decide. A place to start the conversation is in exploring some of the relationships we have to data and evidence.

This tool is intended to help teams to identify and think about the different forms of evidence and data, and how it is currently used and valued in our daily work.
