What Our Clients Say

“Mecklenburg County has made access to behavioral healthcare a priority. The high-quality work by Jonathan Scott and Datacentrix in drafting our Behavioral Health Strategic Plan helped us to further advance this priority in recent years.

“Datacentrix performed many key roles during the development of our strategic plan. This included a wide-ranging inventory of Mecklenburg County government’s existing behavioral health related services; interviews with dozens of stakeholders to collect and analyze qualitative data from the community; as well as writing, research, and overall design of the report.

“We appreciate Datacentrix’s support of our community, Jonathan’s gift for storytelling, and his dedication to our effort to improve services by delivering a comprehensive Behavioral Health Strategic Plan.”

Dena R. Diorio, County Manager, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina

“I have worked with Datacentrix consistently over the past few years on a number of projects for our organization. Notably, our Taming the Octopus project was essentially a continuation of the Navigating the Maze report focused on Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s early childhood population. This project was complex, with many data sources and stakeholders involved. Datacentrix did a fantastic job of engaging the community and creating a story that was easy to digest; Jonathan’s ability to use data to tell a compelling story has truly benefited our work. 

“Taming the Octopus and the more recent, internal report, Making the Leap, enabled us to instantly make changes and adjustments in our programs and local systems of care so that we could better support the children in our community.”

 Mike Blackwelder, CEO, Smart Start of Mecklenburg County

“Datacentrix is one of our firm’s preferred partners, and over the last several years we’ve called on Jonathan innumerable times to help us tell stories and capture the meaning behind gathered data. He has a unique skill for producing content that is user-friendly and understandable. Jonathan has also served on our team of thought leaders and adds great value to our ability to design and implement strategies to directly engage community members via interviews and other data-collection efforts.”

Forrest Alton, Co-Founder and President, 1000 Feathers

“The research, strategies, and narratives produced by Datacentrix tend to spark a great deal of conversation among community stakeholders. Jonathan and his team don’t shy away from digging into systemic problems facing our community. Their reports not only capsulize the pain points, but also serve as a rallying cry to impacted populations. Datacentrix helps stakeholders drill down to the key issues that impact our community.”
