TACB Strategies

Technical Assistance:
Analytic Consulting and Dashboard Development

Specialized support for complex challenges

Sometimes the most effective way to move forward is to bring in a dedicated expert to handle complex problems. TACB Strategies offers technical assistance services, like analytic consulting and dashboard development projects. Our approach bridges the gap between your organizational goals and the technical infrastructure needed to reach them.

If you need a custom-built data product tailored to your mission, the creation of dashboards, or the implementation of new data management systems, then consider TACB. I provide the specialized expertise to get the job done right. From refining your data architecture to ensuring your systems are scalable and secure, I act as an extension of your team to turn complex data hurdles into streamlined, functional assets.

Analytic consulting with hands-on implementation

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Therefore, every analytic consulting and dashboard development project is built around the needs of nonprofits and government agencies. While every engagement is customized to your direct needs, my core areas of expertise include:

  • Database Design & Implementation: Moving beyond fragmented files into a cohesive, centralized system that serves as a “single source of truth.”
  • Advanced Dashboarding: Transforming raw inputs into dynamic visual tools in Tableau, Power BI, or Excel to monitor impact at a glance.
  • Strategic Data Collection: Designing intuitive surveys and forms that work harder for you. By implementing advanced logic and piping, TACB builds collection tools that adapt to respondent answers in real-time. We help your team capture high-quality, relevant data while significantly reducing respondent fatigue and manual entry errors.
  • Advanced Analytics Consulting: Transforming raw data into strategic foresight by identifying trends, measuring program efficacy, and providing the actionable insights needed to drive evidence-based decision-making.

Struggling with low survey response rates or incomplete information from your internal forms? We specialize in technical assistance related to data collection!

Why TACB Strategies Can Help

I believe technical work is only successful if it actually works for the people using it. In addition to focusing on public administration, I do things differently to ensure your new systems provide long-term value:

  • Data Products You Can Actually Use: I don’t just build a product and leave. Every technical implementation includes a customized “User Roadmap” and documentation, ensuring your team is empowered to manage and maintain your new tools with confidence.
  • Versatile Platform Solutions: Your tools should never be a barrier to your progress. I bring expert-level proficiency across the industry’s leading platforms. This includes Excel, Tableau, and Power BI for data visualization as well as SurveyMonkey, Qualtrics, and Cognito Forms for data collection. This platform agnostic approach allows me to customize your infrastructure to fit your team’s specific technical comfort level.
  • Outcome-Driven Systems Architecture: I bridge the gap between siloed platforms by merging fragmented data sources into a centralized management system. This approach eliminates blind spots and connects day-to-day outputs to long-term outcomes. This approach provides leadership with a comprehensive view of organizational performance.

Build a Foundation for Better Storytelling

A great dashboard is only as reliable as the data architecture behind it. I specialize in the full lifecycle of data strategy. This includes merging fragmented back-end systems into a unified “source of truth” to delivering professional, stakeholder-friendly visualizations.
