Drawing on Twenty First Group\u2019s proprietary technology and data science capability, the focus will be on supporting both long-term strategic planning as well as short-term decision-making to improve performance, as the club seeks to combine its unique community-first culture with a differentiated approach to football operations in League Two.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the partnership, Twenty First Group CEO Blake Wooster said:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAs a business which already works with some of football\u2019s most elite clubs and the game&#8217;s biggest investors, I couldn\u2019t be more proud to be supporting one of English football\u2019s most innovative and ambitious ownership groups. The Club is clearly on an upward trajectory and to have the opportunity to work with its leadership team on a long-term basis is really exciting for TFG. There is a shared commitment to using data and being innovative in driving sporting success and unlocking commercial value but, as importantly, a shared and fundamental belief in the power of sport to drive social change.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Grimsby Town FC Chair, Jason Stockwood said:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhen we came into the club two years ago Andrew and I believed we could influence the organisation by resetting the culture, a philosophy of continuous improvement and improving decision making through data. Data is now fundamental for making decisions on performance. But making the right decisions from data is harder than ever, so that\u2019s why I couldn\u2019t be happier to be working with the leaders in their field, Twenty First Group. Not only will they be helping with creating an evidence-based culture, but they will help us set the long-term vision and strategy for the club.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Club Chief Executive Debbie Cook added:<em> \u201cIn the last two years we\u2019ve made significant progress as a Club, both on and off the field, but we\u2019re ambitious to go much further and realise the true potential of this iconic English Club. This work with the Twenty First Group represents an exciting step forward in our journey of continuous improvement.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  style='height:30px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_button '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last ' ><a href='https:\/\/www.twentyfirstgroup.com\/company-news\/'  class='avia-button  avia-color-dark   avia-icon_select-no avia-size-x-large avia-position-center '   ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >BACK TO COMPANY NEWS<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  column-top-margin\" style='border-radius:0px; '><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":8854,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
