很多人问我,非营利组织都擅长运用社会化媒体吗?看到《非营利时报》列出的非营利组织100强后,craigconnects团队决定看看在过去的八九两个月份中,哪些组织主动和有效地运用了社会化媒体。是不是最成功的非营利组织也是最会使用社会化媒体的呢?受众的反应如何?既然社会化媒体的使用方兴未艾,我们决定找出这个问题的答案,并用信息图(图片见原文链接)的形式呈现我们的调查结果。
无疑,我完全相信互联网和社会化媒体对于社会变革所起到的巨大推动作用。我自己也写了足够多的博客来论证这一点。但是如果我拒绝承认社会网络的崛起同样为非营利部门带来了严峻而现实的挑战,我就没有尽到责任。
下面你将读到三份研究报告,一份白皮书和一本电子书。最近,我在浏览网络时发现了他们。我觉得这些内容也许会为非营利部门乃至其他组织提供一些独到的见解。
Here are five research reports, white papers and e-books that I’ve found in my recent web travels that might offer some insight for non-profits, associations and other membership organizations.
原文地址:How To Make Measurement Fun! 译者:童昕 Flickr Photo by Martin Deutsch Last week I wrote about nonprofit “measurement malaise” that keeps some nonprofits putting a measurement strategy for their integrated communications campaigns into practice. In the comments, I asked how can we make measurement fun? In response, Jono Smith said that was like asking how to make going to the dentist fun! Or maybe funerals? 上个星期,我在文章中写到的非盈利组织的“计量导致的心神不宁”。一直以来,这个症结也促使一些非盈利组织人士将他们对于综合通信的估算推向实践之中。在文末的评论中,我疑问道“我们该怎样才能让这一切变得充满趣味?”结果,我收到的Jono Smith的回复说,这根本就像是在问怎样才能让拜访牙医之旅变得有趣! 或者……也可能更像是一场葬礼? Whenever I do workshops and talk about measurement, I immediately see most people’s eyes glaze over unless they are member of the Spreadsheet Appreciation Society. That phrase was used in this job description from Hubspot: At HubSpot, we dream in graphs and our native tongue is Spreadsheet Speak. Our data might be the most metrically driven data you’ve seen. That’s right, we are metrics freaks. We measure EVERYTHING, all the time. If you are not part of the Spreadsheet Appreciation Society, you will not have a good time working at HubSpot. The right candidate will understand perfectly what we mean and will smile upon reading this bullet point. Not everyone is born with this gene. Most people view measurement as punishment, not something fun or valued. 每当我在研讨班上提到计量这个词,我立刻就能见到绝大部分人变得双眼无神,除非他们是“促进电子制表软件发展委员会”的成员。这个古怪的名词也出现在HubSpot公司的一份职位简介,这份简介是这样的: 在HubSpot,我们所想的都是图表,我们的母语就是制表语言,我们拥有的可能是您所见过的最具计量性质的数据。没错,我们就是一群计量控——我们无时无刻地量度着所有的东西。如果你不是“促进电子制表软件发展委员会”的一样,那很不幸,你在HubSpot的工作生涯绝对是暗无天日。良禽择木而栖,我们所想要的人一定能很好地知道我们在说什么,还会在看完之后附上会心一笑。 显然,不是所有的人都有这个天份。很多人依然是把计量看作是酷刑,而不是一件有趣的事情或者是有价值的事情。 Some ways to make measurement sexy include focusing on the results by celebrating them. Also, the reporting by using visual humor. When I asked folks on Twitter, many responded by like and suggested: gamify it. That made me think of Nicole Lazzaro’s serious fun framework and how to use it to design reports. (图片:@kanter:怎么才能让计量有趣? @ericmills回复:去弄清楚什么可行的什么事不可行的,这将很有趣~或许也需要重塑一下形象并让它变得有趣?) 关注整个事件的结果并且加以庆祝,这是一些让计量变得热辣诱人的办法之一。除此以外,也可以通过一些视觉幽默来呈现整个报告。而当我在Twitter(注:山寨版微博,又称404小鸟网)上把问题交给围观群众时,我得到的回复也正是像Erica Mills所说的那样:游戏化。 这就让我想到了Nicole Lazzaro的集严肃与娱乐于一体的框架,以及怎样用这个框架还设计一份报告。 Source: Nicole Lazzaro I asked how to make measurement fun on Facebook, and here are some suggestions. 我在Facebook(注:非死不可的山寨版人人网,404系列荣誉出品)上也问了怎么让计量变得有趣,下面罗列的就是我得到的一些建议: 1. Celebrate Small Successes:L.P. Neenz suggested rewards. For example, if you get higher conversion rate, you go out for ice cream (or shaved ice if you’re in Hawaii). 1. 庆祝每个小小的成功:L.P. Neenz提议给自己设立一些小小的奖励。例如,如果你实现了更高的转化效率,出门右转,给自己一个好评再加上一个雪糕(在夏威夷的话,亲就还是考虑来一份刨冰吧)。 2. Humanize the Reporting:Don’t just report numbers, include the stories. Using personas or vignettes can make data come alive and make it more relevant. 2. 让报告人性化:不要光说数字,往里面加些段子。用角色扮演、拟人的手段或者是一些小花絮,可以让数据生机勃勃,也让数据变得相互关联,起更大的作用。 3. Visual Humor:Don’t just use numbers, bar charts, and graphs. Find metaphors and use those. John Haydonsuggested a horse race. He added that it doesn’t have to be fancy, someone can draw something on a dry erase board. 3. 视觉幽默:不要光用赤裸裸的数字、表格或者直方图了。内涵一点,去找一些有隐喻效果的图来用。John Haydon提议用赛马的形式。当然,他也提到,这并不一定要多么的华丽丽,每个人都可以在画板上面画出东西来。 4. Report the Impact:Connect your numbers or reports to the impact of your nonprofit’s work. This can make everyone not only feel good about the working for the organization, but maybe motivate some to fill those spreadsheets with meaningful data. 4. 指出影响力:把你的数字或者报告跟你的非盈利工作联系起来,尤其是对工作的影响力。这个可以让每个人感觉到为这个组织做事是不错的,除此之外,还能鼓动其中的一些人屁颠屁颠地投入工作,往那些表格里面填上意味十足的数据。 5. Cut the Salami Into Smaller Pieces:Don’t wait until the end to collect all your data, collect a little bit each month GiveZooks suggests. [...]
