In this episode of Let’s discuss…with ParsonsTKO, we dive into data. An intimidating subject for some, but a topic you should absolutely be discussing!
Is your data helping you answer questions that will improve your outreach and increase donations? For many mission driven organizations, the answer is no.
Why is that?
- Perhaps it’s because you don’t know what tools you need or aren’t aware of all that your current tools can do for you. Who in your organization has time to do all the research to learn that stuff?
- And speaking of “ain’t nobody got time for that”, does your organization have a Chief Analytics Officer, or are there data heroes scattered across departments? Do you need to have a designated person to effectively execute a data strategy?
- Are you even aware of what types of data you are collecting? In many organizations, data ends up siloed in various departments rather than being looked at holistically.
Follow along with Lisa, Stefan and Tony for suggestions on tools to track your data, how to get more out of what you already collect and to learn how you can build a positive culture in your organization around data strategy.
