As the leader of a nonprofit or social enterprise, you’ve probably seen how difficult it can be to collect meaningful data that proves you’re making an impact. Impact measurement can feel overwhelming – so many different kinds of evaluation, strategies to try, tools to use, and research to read. However, after helping over three dozen organizations with budgets of $500K – $5M to establish processes for managing and interpreting data, we’ve identified five simple practices that define data and impact measurement success:
- Having a clear impact strategy, including a Theory of Change
- Strong habits for data collection
- User-friendly data systems
- Team data fluency – skills for interpreting and communicating with data
- A culture of learning
To help you objectively understand your organization’s strengths in these five areas, we’ve developed a free data fitness quiz – an editable PDF you can download and share with your team. Completing this 5-minute quiz will help you learn more about these five fundamentals and understand which are stronger than others for your organization.
