In our November Nonprofit Datafolk Club workshop, we’ll be chatting about one of the hottest topics in digital and data right now - artificial intelligence (AI).

Many nonprofits tell us hiring skilled and experienced data staff is competitive, challenging, and not always successful.

Join us in our latest Nonprofit Datafolk Club workshop to share perspectives with fellow datafolk on how nonprofits can navigate recruitment of data-skilled people in today’s rapidly evolving jobs market.

We had a great response to the State of the Sector report and we decided to dedicate a Datafolk Club session to discussing the findings.

We'll be using the Troika Consulting technique. You ask questions of other data folk and get rapid, helpful and constructive perspectives.

The cloud, bespoke systems, shared drives... The question of how and where to store data is a constant and evolving challenge.

Skills, experience, training, networking... what works to build a data career in nonprofits?

We’re bringing new starters together with old hands and mid-career data folk to find out.

Leadership is crucial to improving data in nonprofits.

April’s Datafolk Club get together asks:

• What helps influence leaders?

• What have you seen work?

• What are your frustrations?

The next free get-together for our Nonprofit Datafolk Club.

Many nonprofits already employ data scientists. Many do not. How can nonprofits get the best out of data science to further their impact?

The latest of our Second Thursday Club workshops focuses on how we can makes sure our data products have an impact.

What would we do without maps?! They’re all around us, helping us in our day-to-day lives, but how are nonprofits using them? In our latest interactive workshop, we want to explore what nonprofits are doing with geo-data.

What are the data tools your organisation relies on?

Are you a Tableau technicial, PowerBI promoter, Qlik quoter or simple Excel expert?

Or are you none of the above, but could really do with hearing the insights and experiences of fellow not-for-profit data folk?

The data folk equivalent of a bring and share buffet but instead of salad, sandwiches and sausage rolls you bring your thoughts on data skills. A chance to discuss and share experiences: who needs training, what works to develop skills, what doesn't work, and how can we identify what skills people in different roles need?

A workshop being held as part of The Voluntary Data and Digital Transformation Conference.

databasic.io and the Data Culture Project are a set of free workshop tools and plans designed for and with non-profit organisations. Would they help your organisation? The best way to discover that is to try them and then discuss them with other data folk. That's what this workshop will be all about.

Come along and be part of crowdsourcing the greatest non-profit data strategy. Bring your questions, your suggestions and your experience. Leave with a crowdsourced document distilling the combined learning of all of the data folk.
