5 Questions: Data Data Everywhere: Drowning in a sea of Analytics
Ed. Note: As we prepare for the 2010 Nonprofit Technology Conference, we wanted share a wee bit of the wisdom our speakers will be serving up, so as not to overwhelm you when you get to Atlanta. We're asking them all to share their answers to five very important questions.
Speaker: Dan Michel, Feeding America
Session: Data Data Everywhere: Drowning in a sea of Analytics
1. What's the most important trend in nonprofit technology for 2010?
Integration. All nonprofits have had presences in many different tools serving different audiences. The next step is to integrate all tools and strategies together.
2. Why do you think your session topic is important for nonprofits to address?
My session is about measurement, and one of the ways to get management to “buy-in” to technology initiatives is with understanding what the general public is doing with technology.
3. What's the one thing you want attendees to remember from your session?
How to approach analytics smartly and thoughtfully to benefit your job and your colleagues.
4. Which Muppet do you most identify with and why?
I always liked Scooter the stage manager.
