Becoming a Data-Informed Organization will help participants understand the why behind using data so they can view data as an asset for shaping the next steps instead of simply an obligation to remain compliant. We will cover the four components of becoming a data-informed organization and work on building competency in each area. We will also give an overview of external evaluation–what it is, how it differs from internal evaluation practices, why it should not be something to fear, and how to best use external evaluation results to drive program improvement.

Workshop Objectives:
Participants will understand the four components of becoming a data-informed organization.
Participants will learn how to build competency in each of the four areas.
Participants will understand external evaluation.
