When the world around us is shifting, it can create fear and confusion for us as funders and our communities. The changes can also prompt us to make sure that the knowledge work we are doing is relevant, addressing our primary mission and values, and contributing to our best strategies both internally and externally. Today’s knowledge work in grantmaking involves many activities, roles, and titles. Whether your job description includes learning and evaluation, grant reporting, organizational change, grantee network building, information sharing, or any other knowledge term, there are important ways that we can turn challenge and fear into meaningful change. This session encourages participants to creatively address four key components of knowledge work – data, questions, analysis and technology partnership. Participants will engage with four important actions: 1. Shifting from data to datamaking harnesses our sense of urgency and agency to better focus our data systems on our strategic priorities. 2. Examining our knowledge work questions with an eye toward the opportunities that they open up. 3. Embracing analysis as a multi-dimensional process to be shared internally with our stakeholders and externally with our community. 4. Tapping into technology partnerships for learning, communication, transparency, and amplification. Taking these actions helps us uncover hidden opportunities and tap into our knowledge work to ensure our data and data systems are relevant to the times and effective at helping to move us into our desired future. Participants will leave with resources that deepen the practice of each of these actions.
