SUMMARY:Drowning in Data: Making Use (and Sense) of What You Already Have
DESCRIPTION:Nonprofits juggle a lot: programs to run\, communities to serve\, boards and funders to keep informed\, and somewhere in the mix sits data. You have intake forms\, attendance logs\, survey responses (paper and online)\, rogue spreadsheets\, CRM exports (oh my!). You’re working hard\, you care deeply\, and you want data to help\, not weigh you down. This workshop is about throwing you a life raft. We’ll cut through the noise of overwhelming data and reframe it as something you already have (and don’t need to reinvent). No new systems or complicated dashboards\, just simple tools to spot what’s getting in the way\, ask sharper questions\, and turn existing data into insights your team\, board\, and funders can use.
