Let's Talk Data 1: Outcomes and Indicators
2022-05-02 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Detroit) | Virtual, MI
A common area of struggle for nonprofits when it comes to data is how to show your impact. Want to learn what data to collect (and more importantly, what you can stop collecting)? This three-part workshop series will help you define how your organization or program helps create change, the outcomes associated with that change, indicators to measure the change, and what to do with the data once you have it. We will walk through understanding or creating a theory of change for your organization or program, a program level logic model, selection of indicators, and data collection and analysis methods for your specific organization. Learn the concepts at a high level and get hands-on support to improve your data systems for your organization! Register here.

Let's Talk Interviews and Focus Groups
2022-09-12 10:30 - 12:00 (America/Detroit) | Virtual, MI
Planning and conducting qualitative research can be intimidating. The interviewer has to meet real people face-to-face and figure out how to elicit answers of interest. We have to do so without being heavy-handed and without signaling disinterest in the whole person or their whole story. We will discuss how to adopt a genuinely empathetic posture and how to signal interest while keeping the conversation on track. We will offer a hands-on demonstration experience and showcase some ways to bridge qualitative and quantitative work through structured data tables in simple tools like Excel or Google Sheets.
Please plan to attend all three days. This is an interactive workshop series with individualized support available during and after each session. It will not be recorded. This training is led by our partners at DataWise Consulting. Register at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIkc-yurzIpHtaDwh4Fw9s9_Aj3K5J3p6wi.
