Introducing: Cii Data Intelligence Network

2024 sees the launch of Cii’s new Data Intelligence Network - a forum for like minded data curious folk in the social impact sector. The sector can at times be a lonely place for data enthusiasts and Cii is keen to provide a space for connection, peer to peer support and knowledge exchange.

We invite all those with an aptitude or curiosity for data to sign up to explore opportunities from developing broad data strategy and nurturing a data-driven culture, to deep-dives into the potential of leveraging particular tools. Sessions will be tailored to different levels of data familiarity and skills, focussing on the common ground of untapped opportunity in this space.

The aim is to bring together a broad mix of data champions across the sector - likely spanning but not exclusive to junior database administrators, IT managers, fundraisers, analysts and senior management. This network’s focus will be CRM agnostic with a focus on leveraging nonprofit data rather than specific platforms.

A core aim of this network is to grow this pool, to empower and develop its members and ultimately to give the data in this sector the attention it deserves. Together we can leverage the pooled knowledge of members and also connect with experts in the field as nonprofits move forwards on their data journey.

To join the network simply click on the button below, logon to your Cii profile and select the User Group 'Data Intelligence Network' from the dropdown.

Remember, we may not have all your team on our database so please ensure that you forward this message to anyone within your charity that may be interested in joining the network.

Next week, we plan to reach out to all new network members with a survey aimed at assisting us in refining our content curation.

This year the network will be supported by Cii partner Praesto and moderated by Jane Trenaman.
