Data Orchard

It's here! Every year, our big State of the Sector #data crunch is bigger than the last... Well this year that's more true than ever. Since it's launch, our Data Maturity Assessment has had almost 12,000 users. That makes A LOT of lovely data for us to dive into😉 This week, we shared a sneak first look at State of the Sector Data Maturity in the Nonprofit Sector 2024 with attendees of our launch webinar. Now it's time to share it with the world. It's full of insights into how the data maturity of our sector is changing (and what’s not changing 👀), detailed comparisons between the public and not-for-profit sectors, intelligence on the relationship between job role and data… and, of course, it’s also brimming with fishualisations! Hats off to Hannah Khwaja and Libby Harkins, authors of the report, for all the insightful data analysis. Do please let us know about your favourite bits, questions and curiosities in the comments... https://lnkd.in/ebFDThRY #SOTSdata24 #nonprofit #data4good #publicsector
