Description
Measuring progress towards interdisciplinary and cross-unit strategic campaign priorities and initiatives can be one of the most challenging yet constant requests that fall on prospect management teams. The University of Chicago has recently been implementing more interdisciplinary and cross-unit fundraising groups. This raises issues of reporting, data maintenance and transparency — how does each group manage their project-specific strategies? The University of Chicago solution involved expanding the scope of prospect management above and beyond the traditional model of data maintenance and portfolio management — project management components are now included in daily work. The speaker will detail how the University of Chicago made this shift and share practical suggestions for making it work in your shop.
