This page documents this journey, how we went about it and what has been produced as a result so far.

1. Barriers and enablers of data sharing for charities;

2. The needs of end users of any insight infrastructure, including the organisations sharing data;

3. Data standards that might facilitate more automated data collection and sharing;

4. Governance required to bring the insight infrastructure to scale and underpin its ongoing development.
