Continuous Improvement Trumps Strategy: How to Become a Learning Organization (Fast Forward Libraries)
Just having a strategic plan doesn’t guarantee success! Many strategic plans are never ending “to do” lists that don’t articulate progress or impact. Shift your library by developing a meaningful, aspirational plan supported by learning-focused implementation and management tools. Learn how to ground your library’s plan in systems thinking and learning organization practices. Creating a living plan that’s adaptive and responsive from the inside out will help your library and community learn and grow together!

Data Makeovers: How to Make Your Data More Beautiful and Engaging (Nonprofit Learning Lab)
Data visualization is like one of those unlikely couples. One partner is outgoing and a great storyteller. The other is introverted and sticks to the facts. To make great charts, maps, and graphs, you need to channel both partners in this odd couple: the artist and the analyst. In this workshop, I will offer up 10 key rules about composition that artists know and that analysts (and the rest of us) can apply when presenting data.
