Stop Doing Everything: Using Data to Focus Your Work and Increase Your Impact

Does your nonprofit have a hard time saying no? Many of us say yes until our mission is muddled, our strategic plan is watered down, and we’re splitting our focus between too many things. Why? It’s hard to say no to our staff, our community, our board members, and our funders. It’s hard to disappoint people, and it’s hard to end programs that have been around for years. But doing hard things can make us better.

So, what do you do? Join us for this session to find out. You’ll see how the Epilepsy Foundation of America used a data-informed strategic planning process to clearly determine priorities, evaluate options, and focus efforts for maximum impact. Discover how you can use the same tools to better understand where you are going, engage your staff and board in building your strategy, and ensure you are investing your resources in the most impactful activities.

This session will help you with data-driven processes to decide what you will and (more importantly) what you won’t do, while maintaining the buy-in of your whole team — your staff and your board.
