Measurement & Evaluation

The Power of Data

When we think about how to use data and technology in our organizations, we often see them as just tools for measurement or program evaluation. But data can impact our work much more broadly, creating greater operational insights that produce outsized benefits and ultimately transform how we affect change. Data and technology can’t exist in a bubble—nonprofits need them to thrive and grow.

This video is part of the “Technology for Change” series produced by Stanford Social Innovation Review with the support of Salesforce.
