Are you the Accidental Data Nerd at your organization? Do you feel like you’ve been thrown into a cauldron of silo’d systems, mismatched spreadsheets and dirty data? This workshop will introduce attendees to the Data Maturity Model (DMM), which was developed through years of direct work with nonprofits. The DMM serves as the basis of providing Accidental Data Nerds with a roadmap for building organizational data capacity. This workshop will show the pathway to transform the Accidental Data Nerd into the role of Organizational Data Leader. The good news is that through hands-on exercises, attendees will see that they already have many of the essential skills needed for moving forward.

We invite you to join RoundTable Technology at NPCC’s Inaugural Best Nonprofit Conference, the culminating event of The New York Community Trust 2018 Nonprofit Excellence Awards, and NPCC’s first full-day conference focused on nonprofit management practices. RoundTable will be presenting a session called “What the Tech? How to Use What You’ve Got Strategically”.

Joshua Peskay, Vice President of Technology Strategy at RoundTable Technology, will  present a workshop at the 2017 Nonprofit Finance Conference at the Maine Association of Nonprofits on December 5, 2017.

In his session, “The Dollars & Sense of IT Budgeting”, Joshua will help participants identify budgeting guidelines, learn the anatomy of a nonprofit IT budget, categories of spending, and the unique challenges nonprofits face trying to invest in technology improvements.

Data is hard. You collect data in dozens of ways and then struggle to make sense of it. You hear about data all the time, you want to become a data-informed organization, but you are not sure how to get from where you are to being the kind of organization that leverages data, every day, to make smarter decisions.

You save colleagues from IT disasters on a weekly basis, often finding the solution while scrambling for a manual or Googling furiously. You’re heroic, but you need help.

Are you the person everyone at your small nonprofit looks to when the printer won’t work or the Wi-Fi is down? Are you the one with admin privileges for all your software? Do you have to carry out basic IT tasks such as run backups and install anti-virus software? Is IT only a small fraction of your job (but always threatening to take over)?
