Take Aways from Nathan’s Episode
1. Join a community like our Technopath community to get your technology and data questions answered by experts and others going through similar situations (https://technopath.mn.co/share/tke03sU6qwViCc-L?utm_source=manual)
2. Make your list of questions – What do you want to measure? What’s relevant to your organization? How do you measure the things you’ve chosen? What will you do with the data once it’s collected?
3. Make your goals/KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)
4. Put out an RFP, look for an AmeriCorps Vista program or write a job description
5. Check out our On-boarding episode to help tame the overwhelm of acclimating the new person to the job (Episode 20: Tame The On-Boarding Overwhelm)
6. It will likely take time to find the perfect fit for your organization so have a back-up list of other candidates
7. Have the “meeting before the meeting” to reduce drama and friction in main board or stake holder meetings. This gives you a chance to get buy-in from anyone who might be reluctant to adopt new ideas about data.
