Description:
Does your group have all the right data processes in place, but struggle to gain much benefit from them? Maybe you can’t figure out what to do with the endless influx of survey results, how to act upon the data sitting in your registration software, or how to make your performance measures more than just an annoying extra task when creating your annual budget. Or maybe you see the value in your data but can’t get your staff on board or get your elected officials to care. Whatever the reason, learn three key questions that will help you evaluate and tweak what you collect, measure and share so that you can decrease the chances that it collects dust sitting on shelves and in your software and instead becomes part of your group’s day-to-day. Using real-life examples, see how small shifts in what you measure and how you present it can make a world of difference in how your staff, leaders and community engage with what your data has to say.

Learning Objectives:
1. After attending this session, attendees should be able to list three questions that can be used to evaluate the quality of their current data efforts — everything from survey questions to performance measures and even data presentations.
2. After attending this session, attendees should be able to lead a discussion with their group to identify more engaging and useful questions and data points to get people to care more about their data efforts.
3. After attending this session, attendees should be able to share their results and insights in a way that improves audience engagement, understanding and retention.
