About Us

Our Mission

Data Maturity Matters was founded to transform how organisations approach people data through academically rigorous standards and collaborative innovation. We believe that the future of workforce intelligence depends on moving beyond subjective opinion and traditional big data mining to embrace transparent, evidence based frameworks.

Our Story

Data Maturity Matters emerged from a strategic collaboration between Lumenai LABS and The Talent Intelligence Community, uniting two pioneering forces in the people analytics landscape. This partnership was born from a shared conviction: that the field of people data needed a robust, standardised approach to measuring and advancing organisational maturity.

What We Do

We establish academically rigorous standards in people data maturity, creating a transparent standards framework toolbox that empowers organisations to make meaningful progress. Our work bridges the gap between theory and practice, providing actionable pathways for organisations at every stage of their data maturity journey.

Our Community

Data Maturity Matters brings together a diverse consortium of forward thinking professionals, including:

  • Business Leaders who recognise data driven decision making as a competitive advantage

  • Academics who contribute research rigour and theoretical foundations

  • Policy Makers who shape the regulatory and ethical landscape

  • Developers who build the tools and platforms that make data maturity possible

  • Vendors who commit to transparent development and implementation of solutions aligned with consortium standards

This unique blend of perspectives ensures our standards are both theoretically sound and practically applicable.

Our Approach

We are committed to:

  • Academic Rigour: Every standard we develop is grounded in research and validated through rigorous methodology

  • Transparency: Our frameworks are open and accessible, enabling organisations to understand exactly what maturity means and how to achieve it

  • Collaboration: We foster dialogue across sectors and disciplines to advance the people data agenda collectively

  • Practical Application: Our toolbox is designed for real world implementation, not just theoretical discussion

Our Vision

We envision a future where organisations of all sizes can confidently navigate their people data maturity journey, equipped with clear standards, proven frameworks, and a supportive community. By moving beyond the limitations of subjective assessment and simplistic data collection, we aim to unlock the true potential of people analytics and AI enablement so to drive organisational success and employee wellbeing.
