This is a replay of our Accelerate Speaker Series webinar.

Overview

Almost every nonprofit organization has two superpowers. The first is the data that they have packed away in databases and spreadsheets, often collecting virtual dust on their servers. The second is the visual faculties of their donors, board members and staff members. While most of us glaze over at the sight of a spreadsheet, humans are wired to process visual information at lightning speed. By showing data in engaging visual formats, we can conquer common nonprofit challenges.

What You’ll Learn

• The two superpowers organizations have and how to help you to wield them more often and more effectively;
• How you can use data visualization (aka data viz) to address key problems you face showing and evaluating their impact;
• The types of visualizations that work best for different purposes; and
• How to turn a good viz into a great one.

You will also get a list of resources to pump up the knowledge and skills you acquired at the webinar.
