Over the last few years, NTEN has been working with nonprofits to understand how to better wrangle all the data they’re creating and what’s available to them into improved results: more mission impact. How do we determine which data matters in the first place, and how that data will impact the direction of our work?

NTEN has had an increasingly distributed team and a flexible work schedule throughout our 23 years as an organization. Working at NTEN is just one aspect. We are humans first and employees of NTEN later. Some of the most interesting planning was the work we did as a full team driven by the places where staff had questions.

Something similar happened a few years back when NTEN scheduled NTC over Passover. It's how I met Holly Ross in the first place.
