More than half of not-for-profits face challenges when using their database or client relationship management systems Charity Digital Survey . One of the key challenges is to extract data out of these systems and — most importantly — turn that into insightful and actionable information which drives decision-making, processes and organisational strategy!

The core presentation was led by Claire Bénard of Meaningful Data and Harrison Brown of Suru Partners – two experienced leaders within the charity sector who discussed the: 

• challenges and opportunities of leveraging the data you collect from day-to-day operations and in service of clients and beneficiaries;
• principles and tips for extracting actionable insights from your data, and for reporting to funders and other stakeholders; and
• technology principles, approaches and tools you’ll need to do so efficiently and automatically, reducing manual work and increasing the efficiency of your operations.
