Measuring to Improve (And Not Just to Prove)
Wednesday, April 10, 2013
Session Description
It is important to understand and to be able to describe the impact that your efforts have had on the world. But that should not be the only reason you collect data about your work. Learn new ways to use performance measurement to drive better results, reduce costs and promote rapid innovation. We will draw upon the example and the expertise of One Acre Fund, a self-identified ‘data-driven organisation’, which regularly gathers data to guide their efforts and to foster real-time improvement.
