Example of A/B Testing Results. I’ve been reflecting on why some nonprofits do a better job of measurement and learning, while others do not. There not is a reflection process for analyzing success or failure to take into next use or campaign. What is the difference? It comes down to organizational culture.

It speaks to establishing culture norms among staff of curiosity, reflection, and trust. The term “continuous” that the organization has create a virtuous cycle of feedback that repeatedly inspires staff to reflect on what is working and what can be done differently to get better results. The term means learning culture.

Last week, I sat down on a toilet in our museum and found myself looking at an interactive station intended to test a “Legends of the Stall” sign concept for the restrooms. Whenever an intern takes a prototype out on the floor, I ask her, “What might change about this project based on this test?” Sorry for the delay.

Some organizations come to us with a very clearly articulated brand that has accompanying logos, fonts, colors, photography, copywriting and more.

Discussions about what type and level of risk is acceptable and when risk is acceptable (early in the development process, contained to a defined time period or clearly articulated experiment) are useful here. It also provides a really great test of whether something has any merit in being pursued. The leadership environment is key.

I'm focusing on the community response to the prospect of the millage and the way the public debate reflects broader conversations about the public value of the arts. But the arguments trotted out represent how far we have to go in articulating the public value of arts institutions (and helping our supporters speak the same language).

Alf Gracombe (a relatively new in the nptech blogosphere and whose blog looks promising) suggests that the debate reflects the shifting paradigm away from the more traditional content taxonomies to the emerging folksonomies on today???s social network and community sites. He observes that folksonomies are in the early stages of development.

we do tests where we send dozens of donations to nonprofits to see how we’re treated as donors. . So fundamentally, I think for major donor conversations what you want to be doing is asking questions, then you reflect back what they’ve said. You reflect what they said, so you understand and people feel heard.

It’s a story we’ve been absorbing for decades—and it doesn’t reflect reality ( see CEO Myth vs. Reality further below in this post ). Get all the facts out, admit all know shortcomings, and clearly articulate what has yet to be determined. This is a problem because it has a big impact on society. Be comprehensive.
