We offer a simple, powerful way to understand your stakeholders and accomplish your mission. We want to help you change the world.

Creative solutions to complex problems

• Do you have a new executive director who needs to understand the environment?
  
• Do you and your board need to align to the current realities before you start this round of strategic planning?
  
• Do you want to inspire growth and improvement and create more effective touchpoints with your stakeholders?
  
• Do you want to engage employees and ensure your team is still on board or need more incentive or inspiration?
  
• Are you looking for growth in your organization but don’t have the processes/technology/capacity to support it?

In 3 steps, we can move your organization to clarity about your key stakeholders, which results in massive leaps towards your organization’s goals. We can answer your questions so you are comfortable with the information and can then present it to others – and look like rock stars!

What are you leaving on the table by not using your data to make decisions? The risk you take in misunderstanding your stakeholders is extreme…headaches, attrition, and possible mission failure.

So often we (in the nonprofit sector) struggle with metrics: measuring success, and then communicating that success effectively. Grounded with Data helped the Adult Literacy League gather, measure, and evaluate staff, volunteer, and board satisfaction to ensure the needs of those most important to our organization are being met.

If we can help you, you can help the world and that feels right. This work in the for-profit sector costs a bajillion dollars but for you it’s $cheap-o-neat-o.

  Fun-loving data people who get it!

  Grounded with Data makes creating surveys a breeze and data analysis exciting. The team is friendly, down to earth, and darn good at what they do. For our project, Jack took the time to develop a survey around the many perspectives around a complicated challenge. He sought to use data to create the whole picture and he achieved just that. The resulting data was provided in a way that was clear to understand and helped our team create an action plan for the work we would need to do next.

  Turned all our data troubles into an action plan

  “The GWD team was able to turn all our data troubles into an action plan designed to lead our organization to a single source of truth with data. Without GWD we would not have been able to do such a detailed analysis of our current systems and plan a roadmap towards success with data.”

  -Anne Flomenhaft, Manager of Political Programs at New American Leaders

  It’s exactly what we needed to make the right decisions

  It’s very helpful. I mean, it’s an overwhelming amount of data. But it’s exactly what we needed to make the right decisions about what’s best for the residents. And who, who, what do they really like? Where will they go? Is it already there? Does it need to be built? We definitely have enough data to start working on those next steps.
