From Chaos to Control
Build A High Performance Team Using Knowledge Management
By working closely with charities, Sharron Batsch has witnessed first-hand how a chaotic approach to the management of donor gift data takes its toll. Donations are down, donor relations have not been well-recorded and organisational history is in disarray.
It’s frustrating and yet understandable, as many charities are operating without a knowledge plan and have no management paradigm to draw from. When it comes to data management, chaos doesn’t have to be the norm.
From Chaos to Control will help you to:
• identify areas where chaos lurks
• troubleshoot common data management issues with practical solutions
• implement improvements that are sustainable
• build a high performance team
• create a work environment that is more productive
The intent of this book is to bring chaotic data management issues to light so that you can make positive adjustments where they will be most beneficial. The result will be better quality data and more accessible information which leaves staff with more time to focus on, explore and embrace new opportunities to build a successful fundraising programme.
Reviews
I LOVED it. I will talk about it in my weekly blog on my website.”

I wish I had this book years ago. Sharron is so right about the challenges for charities to keep track of all the information about donors, volunteers, people who ask for information, beneficiaries (ticket buyers, alumni, clients, family, members, etc.). This MUST be centralised, accessible, and kept up to date. Too often it is incomplete, scattered, or worse yet, not recorded at all.
