Listen, act, and demonstrated learning for organizations
In 2014 GlobalGiving made significant upgrades to our tools and training. Most of these improvements came directly out of the feedback organizations gave in our annual survey. We added web analytics. And now we measure organization behaviors and put them on a dashboard, giving personalized feedback on your performance:
And for the first time, organizations that strive to be better get credit and recognition for learning:
We now award points for using external tools that can help organizations grow:
The process involves three steps – Listen, Act, Learn – and demonstrating that this has happened with a little feedback form:
Our formula: Demonstrated effectiveness => more visibility => funds raised
Later this year, everything that organizations do to listen, act, and learn will increase their visibility on GlobalGiving, as it will soon factor into our partner rewards criteria:
But before we make drastic changes, we’d like to hear from everyone. Please take our ‘learning how you learn’ survey:
Learning Organizations
A learning organization is one that transforms continuously based on evidence and helps its staff grow. We believe that learning organizations are going to drive change in the world in the future. But no two learning organizations look the same, or need the same things. This is your chance to help us learn what you need, so we can provide it. And if you are already doing something that makes you effective, we want to hear about it so that we can award more credit for doing what matters.
Changing the world
Dennis and Mari started GlobalGiving in 2002 because they believed most of the money was not making it to organizations that were doing great work. And in the decade ever since, we’ve moved over 100 million dollars to thousands of these great organizations. But that is not enough. We also need to demonstrate how and why these “other” organizations are a better investment, so that bigger deeper pockets will open and join us. That begins by tracking behavior and using market mechanisms to get more organizations doing more of what matters. We’ve explained our world view in this infographic.
