Data is the new currency. Most association leaders, however, struggle to understand and fully utilize the data they have, let alone acquire the data they don’t.
During this introductory webinar to data, we will:
- Examine how data flows through an association to support decision-making and achieve goals
- Explore the types of data used by associations and the basic concepts of business analytics
- Learn to ask questions of your data that can shift your thinking and become a catalyst for change
