Just wanted to say I got the most of out of this course. I had some data management background and I can attest the information was very relevant and useful.

Course Overview

Process Management

Evaluate your organization’s current feedback loop of design, collect, analyze, dialogue, and how to course-correct

Metric Analysis

Identify, assess, and prioritize your current key performance indicators

Visual Communications

Design a dashboard for desired key performance indicators and develop a data collection plan for items not currently tracked

Description

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 will also work on documenting your existing KPIs, if any, and develop a plan to investigate desired KPIs which are not currently tracked. 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.

Blended courses run for one week and offer a mix of self-paced and live events to offer both the flexibility you need with the personal connection you want.

Pre-Work

Several relevant articles will establish key concepts and ideas as a primer to the live event, and help you to identify questions and topics you want to explore further.

Knowledge Check

A brief quiz will reinforce what you've learned so far. Don't stress - it isn't pass/fail - it is just to help you remember and distill the concepts you read in the pre-work.

Live Event

This is a 90-minute intensive online training. Presented by expert faculty in a state-of-the-art interactive learning environment, there are opportunities to interact with the presenter and your peers in real time. And if you can't make the live session, you'll be able to access a recording.

Homework

Faculty, themselves experts with a wealth of nonprofit experience, have created exercises that will reinforce what you've learned and give you actionable steps to improving your organization.
