  10. Data-driven Organization Lessons learned

  11. I have learned that… • Transforming to a data-driven organization can take years to achieve • If the ED is not fully committed to the transformation, nothing happens • Using the 20/80 rule has been very helpful during the transformation process • Although NPOs do not have all the economic resources needed to embrace a transformation, there are partners who are waiting for an opportunity to help

  12. Why do I want to change?

  13. Resources • Books • Jim Collins – Good to Great • Allen Grossman – High Performance Nonprofit Organizations • Key Partners • Dominican University – Green MBA Business Program • Sonoma State University – M.A. in Organization Development • United Way of the Bay Area – Impact Learning Circle • Tipping Point Community - Grant-making organization • Skill-based volunteers
