<H2>Let's talk about how your organisation uses data</H2>
<P>People in charities and social enterprises tell us they know data is valuable and important, they just don’t know how to go about harnessing its power.</P>
<P>They tell us they don’t have the knowledge and skills and don’t know where to go for information, advice and support.</P>
<P>Many are so busy collecting data for their funders and service commissioners, that they don’t have any resources left to build their own organisation's data skills, tools and capabilities.</P>
<P>And yet</P>
<UL>
<LI>open data and mapping technologies can enable better targeting of resources to the people and places where they’re most needed</LI>
<LI>data analysis can identify gaps and overlaps in services, and opportunities for strategic and collaborative working</LI>
<LI>data insights can save you money, make you more effective, yield new programme insights, drive planning, and improve performance and impact</LI>
<LI>communicating with data can raise your profile and credibility, and help win support from funders, partners, service users and donors</LI>
<LI>effective use of data can be the difference between winning and losing contracts </LI>
</UL>
<P>Many leaders in the sector tell us they know they could be doing more with their data but they don't have the capacity or resources to change their use of data.</P>

<H2>About the Data Evolution workshop</H2>
<P>We’ll be sharing what we know about how data is being used for social good and how this is transforming the way charities and social enterprises work and deliver services.</P>
<P>There’ll be some presentations from inspirational organisations and lots of opportunities to talk about the issues, challenges, and successes around how your organisation is or isn’t making use of data. </P>
<P>It all starts at 0930 (with coffee and pastries available from 0915) and will finish at 1245 sharp.<BR></P>

<H2>Who it is for<BR></H2>
<P>Chief executives, directors and trustees from charities and social enterprises of all scales and sectors.</P>

<H2>The benefits of attending</H2>
<P>You'll explore some of the challenges charities face around:</P>
<UL>
<LI>getting good data</LI>
<LI>making data meaningful and useful</LI>
<LI>aligning data from different functions, services or activities to get the big picture (understanding your beneficiaries’ needs, what you do, and how you make a difference)</LI>
<LI>sharing data internally and externally for more joined up and strategic working</LI>
</UL>
<P>You'll gain a better understanding of where your organisation is on its data journey, where your organisation goes next and how it compares to others. </P>
<P>You’ll get access to people with specialist skills and knowledge who want to help. You might be surprised at what support is available to charities and social enterprises including pro-bono work from data scientists.</P>
<P>You'll see how data driven organisations are becoming more efficient and effective and engaging in more joined up, connected and collaborative approaches to problems.</P>
