Designing for Impact: How Strong Data Models Drive Better Outcomes Across Programs, Organizations, and Systems
Whether you're running a single program or coordinating efforts across an entire organization or system, one challenge remains constant: how do you gather and use data in a way that’s meaningful, not just mandatory?
This webinar explores why a strong data model—the structure behind how your information is organized, connected, and collected—is foundational to making better decisions, supporting the people you serve, and demonstrating real impact.
We’ll explore practical strategies for creating data systems that work across different types of programs—like child services, employment, and domestic violence support—while allowing space for unique workflows and outcomes. We’ll also walk through examples of how platforms like Mareto can support these efforts, with the core focus on principles that matter—regardless of what tool you use.
What you'll learn:
- What a data model is and why it’s essential for meaningful reporting, learning, and service delivery
- How to design data practices that are useful for both front-line teams and executive decision-makers
- Ways to bring alignment across multiple programs without forcing uniformity
- How organizations and systems can move from disconnected spreadsheets to cohesive data infrastructure
- Real-world examples of applying these ideas in platforms like Mareto, with a focus on approach—not features
Who Should Attend:
- Program Managers and Coordinators
- System Planners and Intermediaries
- Executive Directors and Strategic Leads
- Evaluation and Performance Measurement Teams
- Data Managers and Digital Transformation Leads
