America Saves Week 2012 Social Media Project national savings forum-04-12Barbara O'Neill
This document summarizes the America Saves Week 2012 social media project. It conducted 70 Facebook posts and tweets to promote savings messages. 97 organizations collaborated and evaluation used multiple methods including surveys and analytics. 1,437 tweets used the #eXasw hashtag and 673 Facebook clicks were recorded. Surveys found messages were helpful but did not prompt much action. Participants' Twitter influence increased from 2011. The takeaways were that social media raises awareness but not action, participants liked pre-written posts, and Facebook impact is harder to measure than Twitter.

You will hear:
1. Nationally: How the two child limit to tax credits is set to drive child poverty up by 10% by 2020
2. Regionally: First wave results from our work tracking income, employment and poverty for over half a million low-income households across London
3. Locally: How Winchester City Council's data led strategy uncovered hidden pockets of poverty
Background
The post-2015 welfare reforms will take almost £13bn a year from claimants by 2020-21, bringing the cumulative loss since 2010 to £27bn a year. This is equivalent to £690 a year for every adult of working age, according to analysis by Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research.
Professor Christina Beatty said that the worst is yet to come for those who will be most severly hit, namely low income families with children. She urged local authorities to plan ahead for the impact.
Understanding exactly which low income households will be impacted by the welfare reforms, and how, is the challenge. Policy in Practice works with local authorities to do just that.
Our Low Income Family Tracker combines local authority data with a powerful modelling engine to show the aggregate and cumulative impact of reforms on each household so that local authorities can get the right support to those who need help the most, before crisis hits.

Case study:
Teloxy Engineering (A)
Teloxy Engineering has received a onetime contract to design and build 10,000 units of a new product. During the proposal process, management felt that the new product could be designed and manufactured at a low cost. One of the ingredients necessary to build the product was a small component that could be purchased for $60 in the marketplace, including quantity discounts. Accordingly, management budgeted $650,000 for the purchasing and handling of 10,000 components plus scrap.
During the design stage, your engineering team informs you that the final design will require a somewhat higher-grade component that sells for $72 with quantity discounts. The new price is substantially higher than you had budgeted for. This will create a cost overrun.
You meet with your manufacturing team to see if it can manufacture the component at a cheaper price than buying it from the outside. Your manufacturing team informs you that it can produce a maximum of 10,000 units, just enough to fulfill your contract. The setup cost will be $100,000 and the raw material cost is $40 per component. Since Teloxy has never manufactured this product before, manufacturing expects the following defects:
% defective 0 10 20 30 40
probability of occurrence (%) 10 20 30 25 15
All defective parts must be removed and repaired at a cost of $120 per part.
QUESTIONS
Using expected value, is it economically better to make or buy the component?
Strategically thinking, why might management opt for other than the most economical choice?

Where’s the disconnect? Analyzing barriers to web-based e-participation tools...Cullen Meves
Online interactions, collaborations, and user-generated content are increasing at an exponential rate, and the rapid adoption of these Web 2.0 applications is putting an ever increasing pressure on public entities to adapt and adopt. Governing bodies are exploring the benefits and possibilities of Web 2.0 applications, and are developing strategies for integration into the public process. Previous studies have researched the promising use of these tools in planning and community development departments serving the largest cities in the United States. Relatively little study has been done on the use and incorporation of these tools in planning and community development departments that serve smaller, less densely populated areas; areas that by their remote or sparsely populated nature could benefit greatly from easily accessed information exchange. The purpose of this work is to provide a benchmark study for how online, e-participation tools are currently used within planning and community development departments serving communities of 100,000 in population or less. The research also analyzes the demographic characteristics of the populations served by the departments using e-participation tools to explore developing trends in use. Finally, the study examines current barriers for incorporation of these tools into public processes, and attempts to offer developing and future solutions to these barriers. The goal of this research is to help planning departments serving relatively small populations make informed choices as how to best incorporate web-based, e-participation tools into their public process and daily functions.
Measures of Effective Comprehensive Community ActionDavid Knight
The document describes measures for comprehensive community action and outlines the MECCA framework. The framework includes 12 areas that community action agencies should manage comprehensively: [1] maximum feasible participation, [2] community engagement, [3] community assessment, [4] organizational leadership, [5] board governance, [6] strategic planning, [7] operations and accountability, [8] human resource management, [9] financial operations and oversight, [10] data and analysis, [11] vision and direction, and [12] results orientation. The areas are interrelated and must be managed with an understanding of their connections to ensure effective comprehensive community action.

Fundraising Data & Trends: Putting It All TogetherBlackbaud
This document summarizes a presentation about fundraising data and trends. It discusses (1) the current fundraising landscape based on Giving USA data, (2) why nonprofits should measure fundraising metrics, (3) common metrics used such as donations, income, expenses, and donor retention rates, and (4) how to track data and use benchmarks for comparison and analysis. The goal is to help nonprofits better understand trends, evaluate effectiveness, and improve fundraising performance.
The document discusses the growth of digital technologies and increasing importance of digital in marketing. Some key points made include:
- 24-27% of average marketing budgets are spent on digital
- There are now over 10 billion digital devices worldwide, with projections of 200 billion connected devices by 2021
- Digital screen time among teens is over 7.5 hours per day
- Marketing should start with discovery activities like audits and stakeholder interviews to understand digital opportunities
- The future is unpredictable so marketing should focus on being useful, experiential, and helping form culture through digital as a connected platform
