Measure It! Workshop

Description

Using data-driven strategies to help nonprofit and government organizations maximize their impact by cutting costs, obtaining grants, optimizing resources and achieving performance goals.

• Are your funders and sponsors asking for quantifiable measures of impact?
• Are you confused where to start and how to best measure impact and demonstrate value beyond money raised?
• Do you need to prove how you are changing lives and circumstances? 
• If you were able to clearly quantify your outcomes, do you believe you could attract more donors and grant dollars?
• Could you more effectively manage your operations if you actually knew what numbers to focus on?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you can’t afford to miss out on this free workshop!

Join measurement expert and author of the award-winning book Impact & Excellence, Sheri Chaney Jones, as she shares her game-changing research and strategies to help nonprofits and government leaders increase revenues, strengthen their relationships with funders, and prove their impact to the world.  For over 17 years, Sheri has improved government agencies, nonprofits, and small businesses through the use of performance management, evaluation, and organizational behavior best practices.  Her experience and expertise has transformed measurement cultures and as a result, saved public dollars, improved outcomes, demonstrated effectiveness, and increased revenues.  By developing a measurement culture, and using data collection and analysis, Sheri has helped one client turn a $420,000 loss into a $420,000 gain. A successful project with another client resulted in a program savings of approximately $100,000 a year; and yet another client saw an annual savings of $250,000,000 in Medicaid spending. At The Ohio State University, Sheri teaches a course on creating measurement cultures as part of the Certified Public Manager’s Program. Sheri earned a M.A. in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from Central Michigan University and a B.S. with distinction in Psychology from The Ohio State University. Sheri will be available to sign copies of her award-winning book after the workshop.

• Discover how to use data and outcomes to generate new sources of funding
