Understanding Data Maturity

Having and using current valid information about your constituents is essential to thriving nonprofits. The first step is understanding where you are on the spectrum of data maturity-from collecting or tracking no data to relying on a sophisticated CRM system.

This workshop will help you understand where you are on the continuum of data maturity and how to move forward on the data maturity spectrum, including appropriate tools and tactics and what to expect based on your starting position.
