Working smarter with data - Building your NFP's story from the inside out

The world of the NFP sector is shifting gears and an organisation's ability to capture, understand and share their story is becoming essential for survival. And what is this story informed by? Data, data and data. Data can tell us what is going on internally - are we being productive and efficient with our time, and how is our workforce wellbeing tracking? Data can tell us the extent of the positive social impact that we deliver to the people we exist to serve, and provides insights into what we are achieving to inform critical decision making around how and where to invest our finite resources. And finally, how can we use data to report and share our successes and our story with our stakeholders in creative and inspiring ways.

Please join us for a lively interactive half-day conference designed for small to medium size NFPs to leverage the use of data to build their story from the inside out.

Session 1 - DataSpark - DataSpark is an Adelaide-based organisation that is passionate about innovation and problem solving using data analytics. Olivia from DataSpark will present an interactive workshop titled 'Where does the time go - workforce data analytics for decision-making' - bring your laptops/tablets to play with some test data using Tableau software.

Session 2 - Nova Smart Solutions - Nova Smart Solutions is a values-driven local startup which works with social impact organisations to create tailored evidence-based outcome measurements and frameworks which support and demonstrate the social value that each organisation's policies and programs generate. Nacho from Nova will present on their frameworks and methodologies to provide insights into how data can support your organisation's story.

Session 3 - The Story Catchers - The Story Catchers believe in the power of story to change the world. They specialise in Human Centred Design, monitoring and evaluation and social impact measurement using Documentary film.
