What? So What? Now What? (Joining the data-dots to support program management & delivery & decision-making)

Limited Capacity filling up

It would be great to have the participants of the NGO Reference Model session (http://sched.co/8Og6) converge to have a deeper dive into the specific area of systems to support program management and delivery. As we all gather more data related to programmatic outputs, outcomes and impact, and as we try to align ourselves with global transparency initiatives (such as IATI) we need to improve the coherence and relationships between these new data and the fundraising systems and financial management data-sets in which we have traditionally invested. I have no magic bullet to offer, but I would be happy to talk about how Oxfam is wrestling with this, and would love to hear how others are approaching it too.
