Description
When your nonprofit’s data practices are rooted in goals, you strengthen the connection between decision-making, planning, action, and results.
Deepen your understanding of data constructs such as references, normalized data, and survey question types. We will unpack the feedback loop cycle and evaluate how feedback is integrated (or not) into current data management practices within your organization. We’ll demonstrate sample key performance indicators (KPIs) and survey data in use at other organizations, including an overview of website analytics.
You’ll document your existing KPIs, if any, and develop a plan to investigate KPIs you’re currently tracking. We will discuss processes to identify and prioritize the adoption of internal reporting team-wide and strategies to implement a culture of decision-making that is driven by data.
This course was previously titled “Advanced data management.”
