1. When you need key data for reporting, how confident are you that the numbers are accurate and consistent?*

It can be a challenge. I often find errors and have to spend a lot of time cleaning things up manually.

I can usually get what I need, but I often have to double-check things because of random inconsistencies.

Most of our key data is reliable and consistent, thanks to our well-defined processes!

I am very confident in our data. It’s consistently accurate and ready when I need it.

2. How well do your systems (e.g. CRM, digital marketing, event management) work together to give you a complete view of your constituents?*

I mostly pull data manually from different systems and piece it together myself.

I have access to some connected systems, but getting what I need still takes manual effort or technical support.

I can access data from multiple systems fairly easily, and it usually gives me a good overall view.

The systems I use are well-connected, and I can easily access unified data when I need it.

3. How effectively can you use data to inform decisions and anticipate outcomes?*

I can report on what’s already happened, but I don’t consistently use data to forecast or identify new opportunities.

I primarily use data to understand past performance, but gaining proactive insights or predictions is a challenge.

I regularly use data to assess performance and guide decisions, and occasionally apply it to future planning.

I consistently use data to drive decisions, uncover opportunities, and plan for the future with confidence.

4. When it comes to using data, how confident and comfortable are you in finding and interpreting it?*

Sometimes I find data a bit tricky to access or understand, so I usually ask others for help.

I can work with data when needed, but I haven’t had much formal training.

I feel comfortable using data in my role and continue to build my skills over time.

I’m very confident using data — I know where to find it, how to interpret it, and how to apply it effectively in my work.

5. When new data tools or processes are introduced, how do you typically respond?*

I sometimes take a bit of time to get comfortable with new tools or processes and often wait to see how others use them first.

I try to adapt, but I often feel unsure about expectations or how to use the new tools effectively.

I’m generally open to learning new data tools and approaches, especially when the value is clear.

I quickly adapt to new data practices and feel confident integrating them into my workflow.

6. Do you feel you have the support and resources you need to contribute to your organization’s data efforts over the long term?*

I often lack the time, tools, or support to keep up with data-related tasks and improvements.

I am able to contribute, but I often depend on a few team members or outside support to get things done.

I have access to the tools and support I need, and I feel confident sustaining my data work.

I am fully supported with resources, clear responsibilities, and the capacity to help drive long-term data improvements.

7. How clearly do you see the connection between your organization’s data efforts and your broader goals?*

I know data is important, but I don’t often hear it connected to big-picture goals or discussed by leadership.

I’m starting to see links between data and strategic goals, but the overall direction still feels unclear.

I understand how data supports our organizational objectives, and it comes up regularly in planning discussions.

It’s very clear how our data strategy aligns with our goals — leadership actively communicates and reinforces this connection.

8. How confident are you that your organization consistently complies with privacy regulations and that you and your colleagues handle sensitive constituent data responsibly?*

I am aware of the privacy rules but am not fully confident our practices meet all requirements, and training is limited.

We are working to improve privacy compliance, but it can be challenging to ensure consistent adherence across teams.

Our organization has strong privacy policies, and I receive regular training on how to handle and protect data.

Data privacy is integral to our work. I’m confident we stay ahead of compliance and prioritize building trust with those we serve.
