Corus International had been utilizing various manual processes to prepare reports for its fundraising organizations Lutheran World Relief and Corus World Health. They needed a solution that would automate that work and provide one source of truth for data. Achieving that goal has been a game changer for how Corus develops its fundraising strategies.
Corus needed better access to its data and a better approach to tracking progress toward its goals. The implementation of MS Power BI accomplished that and allowed for tailoring a suite of dynamic, close to real-time dashboards for specific needs. The dashboard suite allows Corus to quantify and validate fundraising strategies and more efficiently allocate high-value resources, while opening up the opportunity to integrate dynamic scoring models to further optimize fundraising efforts.
“The BWF team was a collaborative partner in developing a clear pathway and workplan that addressed our pain points. Our team is now equipped with data and analysis that has elevated our effectiveness as a fundraising team. The impact on our team culture and aspiration to be data driven is undeniable.”David FuerstAssociate Vice President, Global Relationships and Resources • Corus International
Having greatly reduced the amount of time spent generating reports, leadership and teams can focus on developing strategy, acting upon insights, and fulfilling Corus’ mission. Ongoing collaboration is focused on making recommendations regarding automating the data pipeline, training to ensure the team is familiar with the mechanics, functionality, and segmentation definitions within the Power BI dashboards, and providing ongoing support and dashboard maintenance.
