How to modernize your technology and create a data-informed culture

WEBINAR | Thursday, April 18 from 1 - 2 p.m. EDT

A primer for public sector agencies

While most organizations understand the importance of data, many struggle to effectively use it to continuously improve their programs or lack the modern technology to do so. This gap between being data-aware and data-informed can be challenging, but it can be bridged through an approach that combines equal parts infrastructure, process, and commitment.

In this webinar, you’ll hear from Bonterra Impact Management customer Molly Kraus, the Team Director of Research & Evaluation at City of Los Angeles Mayor’s Office of Gang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD) , about their organization’s approach to incorporating data as an everyday tool to better understand, implement, and improve their programs. Their experience will offer an insightful guide to any organization seeking to modernize their solutions and bridge the gap from being just data-aware to truly data-informed.

You will learn how to:

Build a stronger data infrastructure.
Create support for the better understanding and use of data systems.
Implement research-to-practice feedback loops.
Integrate data use into your organizational culture.
Build your organization’s capacity to more effectively assess impact.
