The Data Spaces Support Centre (DSSC) has introduced Value Coaches, a new support model designed to provide data space initiatives with direct and personalised guidance to address their key development challenges.

Value Coaches offer tailored advice in areas such as business models, governance, operational aspects and technical challenges, helping initiatives move towards more sustainable and viable models. This support is part of the DSSC’s new approach, focused on moving beyond the definition of frameworks and tools to facilitate their practical implementation.

This support is based on a maturity assessment, which helps identify the main needs of each initiative and target support towards the areas with the greatest potential for improvement. You can learn more about how the Value Coach model works and how it can support data space initiatives in this DSSC article.
