SUMMARY:Emergent Learning
DESCRIPTION:As evaluators\, we think a lot about learning. Good learning is key to getting evaluation findings used in a way that improves decisions and increases impact. And good learning can also happen when there is no evaluation\, using evidence from practice. But good learning is hard to do. This session will explore one approach to creating powerful learning conversations that produce actionable insights people can actually use in their work. We will take a tour of a specific learning practice – Emergent Learning (EL) – and you’ll discover some powerful tools you can use immediately. These tools scale in infinite ways – use them to reflect on a program activity\, unpack insights about a big strategy\, or explore ways to navigate an upcoming organizational change…or pretty much anything else. We’ll explore how a learning practice can complement evaluation work\, and how it can happen in evidence-informed ways when there is no evaluation. Join us to discover insights and tools that can help you create a powerful learning practice!\nPresenter:\nKelci Price\, Ph.D.\, Senior Director Learning & Evaluation at The Colorado Health Foundation\, has over 17 years of experience as an evaluator. Her interest lies in innovative approaches to evaluative practice\, learning\, systems-thinking\, complexity\, and strategy development. In her role leading the Foundation’s approach to learning and evaluation\, she wrestles daily with issues of how to craft strategy to deal with complex challenges\, and how to assess the impact of those strategies in communities. She lives in a space of constructive dissatisfaction with the ability of existing evaluation and learning practices to actually help us solve social problems\, so is constantly questioning and innovating the Foundation’s practices in order to develop better ways of employing evaluative and learning practice to meet the challenge of solving problems within complex adaptive systems. Her focus is on shifting the paradigm around how we engage in evaluation\, learning\, and strategy in service of a more just society. In recent years she’s been deeply engaged in discovering how to center equity in the Foundation’s evaluation and learning work.

SUMMARY:Roadmapping 2021: Virtual and Hybrid Events
DESCRIPTION:Questions For You: \n\nWhat is your unique superpower?\nWhat is the biggest inspirational shift you’ve made professionally in 2020? How are you communicating that to your donors?\nWithin your organization\, what do you love? What would you love to see?\nWhat do you hope to learn as a takeaway from attending this masterclass?\n\nVirtual Events:\nWhile they were initially looked upon as a fallback alternative\, that’s changing! The virtual event wave is evolving from a temporary solution to a long-term strategy.\nWe will look at: \n\nHow virtual events will evolve in 2021 and beyond.\nFundamentals of what makes a successful virtual event.\nWhy 2021 will be more challenging to fundraise than 2020 if you stick to what you know!\n\nHybrid Events:\nA combination of an on-location fundraiser with streaming for those who are unable to attend\, or for those that prefer to watch from home. Appealing to a larger audience and making this a highly ACCESSIBLE event to anyone and everyone is critical. You’ll learn: \n\nHow does a hybrid event work?\nWhy hybrid events are indefinitely the way of the future.\nProper preparation and communication now will drive success tomorrow.

SUMMARY:2020 MCN Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to 2020\, a year that is nothing but change and challenge. A year in which a return to some storied before-time is not possible nor just. A year in which dual pandemics\, one in its infancy\, another over 400 years old\, implore us to center Black lives and collectively imagine and lay fresh footing for a world where everyone thrives and our interconnectedness is embraced. \nConference highlights\n2 Keynote Addresses \nPowerful Together: Collective Action at the County Level\nHennepin County Commissioners Angela Conley and Irene Fernando will share the stage with interviewer Liz Kuoppala\, Executive Director of Mahube-Otwa Community Action Partnership to discuss how the commissioners have intersected with nonprofits throughout their careers\, where they see the nonprofit sector as participants in imagining solutions for housing and racism\, and shedding light on the power of county boards.

The hope is that the conversations started in these quick gatherings will continue throughout the conference and after we have all said goodbye.\nWellness and Cheer Offerings\nInvite your brain to be still\, take a dance break\, or engage your senses with poetry and music. This year we invite you to take a moment to treat yourself to some self-care and joy as the conference rolls along.\nDip into an on-demand yoga offering. Take in a multi-sensory experience.

SUMMARY:Journey Mapping

The method is useful for identifying parts of a program or system that are working as intended\, as well as parts of the system that create challenges\, bottle necks\, or pain points for the people who are participating. Wilder Research has used Journey Mapping for a couple of projects\, including an evaluation of an autism benefit program and the system of services available to families with children who are deaf or hard of hearing. In this presentation\, we will describe the method and share examples of the actual tools we used for data gathering\, as well as share the final reports we produced\, which include visual maps of the journey through these systems with ratings and feedback from parents about each phase in the system. Finally\, we will discuss how the state agencies for whom we conducted these studies intend to use the results to improve their programs. Attendees will leave the session with a good understanding of how to conduct journey mapping data gathering and how to produce a visual report to illustrate the findings.\nPresenters:\nNicole MartinRogers (Senior Research Manager)\nNicole MartinRogers (White Earth Ojibwe\, descendant) has been with Wilder Research since 2001.

SUMMARY:Emotional Intelligence - Why It Matters
DESCRIPTION:Emotional intelligence\, also called EQ\, is the ability to be aware of and to manage emotions and relationships. It’s a pivotal factor in professional and personal success. IQ will get you in the door\, but it’s your EQ\, your ability to connect with others and manage the emotions of yourself and others that will determine how successful you are in life.\nWe’ve all worked with and listened to brilliant people. Some were great and…well\, some not so great. When we look at the truly extraordinary people who inspire and make a difference you’ll see they connect with people at a personal and emotional level. What differentiated them was not their IQ but their EQ – their emotional intelligence.
