In this guest blog, Paul Streets, CEO of Lloyds Bank Foundation, reflects on the relationship between data and accountability. 

This blog was first published by 360Giving following Paul’s keynote talk at the launch of 360Insights in March 2019. 

Data is central to our work. We use it to canvas the confidential views of those we fund on how we’re doing; understand what’s going on in their ‘world’; inform our policy and influencing work and decide where, and on what, to focus and evaluate. The arrival of 360Giving a few years ago shed light on how our work compares to other funders’. Their new platform 360Insights takes this further by providing new ways to understand that data.
