2016 Donor Software Challenge...

I’ll be speaking with several AFP chapters this year about strong data management and how it supports our programs.  I’d like to challenge all of you this year to consider one aspect of this.  
 
Most of us have donor management software, but for many of us, there are several functions within our systems (that we know could enhance our work) that we either don’t use, don’t understand or are just plain afraid to try.
 
So here’s a question for you…
Is there one feature of your donor software that you suspect could speed up data entry, clean up existing data or enhance your methods of data entry/management that you don’t currently use? 
 
If so, I challenge you to commit to conquering that feature in the next 90 days!
 
Set yourself the following deadlines:

• In 30 days, I will identify the feature I need to learn more about and what I need to do to better understand it.
• In 60 days, I will set time aside to tackle the learning curve on this feature and try it out.
• By 90 days, I will integrate this feature into my current systems and utilize it fully.

 
Sometimes we just need a plan and a deadline.  Let me know what you are tackling for this challenge!
