Our consulting firm helps organizations work across social divides and persuade folks who don't already think like them. This study shows why we try to rely on data instead of intuition as consultants. It turns out that the experts are *really bad* at predicting what messages will resonate with folks who aren't already on board with your vision. That's why the best answer is often, "I don't know what will work here...let's test it out!"
Ph.D. social scientist, evaluator and consultant. I help organizations create change with research, evaluation, and strategic planning.
As a consultant and social scientist, I like to think that I can predict what messages will be persuasive. But this study shows that political experts actually are *really bad* at predicting which messages will persuade members of the general public. I mean, no better than random chance bad. And this is true even for experts with lots of relevant experience and subject matter expertise. If the authors are right, the best way to know what persuades people is to....drum roll...test it. Just test it with the folks you want to persuade and see what works. Because our intuitions for what will be persuasive are just....not that reliable. Even if we're in the trenches, even if we're subject matter experts. It's really hard to predict what will persuade people who don't already think like you, even if you think you understand them. Humbling stuff. Great research by political scientists David Broockman Joshua Kalla Christian Caballero Matt Easton https://lnkd.in/gwpYi5Ve

Imagine a world where everyone can participate in shaping the laws and policies that directly affect us. That’s the vision behind New Disabled South’s Plain Language Policy Dashboard. Their innovative tool breaks down complex legislative jargon for pending bills from 14 Southern states into clear, accessible language. This makes it easier for people with disabilities to understand and advocate for change. This tool is a model for how to ensure that every voice counts. President and CEO Dom Kelly shares how it is helping build a more equitable future. https://rwjf.ws/3zLEtFH

Equipa was so glad to be part of developing this new resource for doing effective community engagement in healthcare!
Ph.D. social scientist, evaluator and consultant. I help organizations create change with research, evaluation, and strategic planning.
Community engagement is all the rage in healthcare, but do you know how to do it effectively? Learn how organizations can engage members of the communities they serve to build trust, advance health equity, and improve care outcomes in a new report from INSPIRE. It’s a roadmap for how organizations can go beyond inviting the community to the table toward learning how to build the table from the ground up together. Stay tuned for more tools coming out over the next year from the INSPIRE team, that will help translate the recommendations in this roadmap into action. I am so proud that EQUIPA was able to contribute to this project! https://lnkd.in/gpyvdh4r Camden Coalition The Center to Advance Consumer Partnership Community Catalyst Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered Care PFCCpartners

How do nonprofits get really big? Conventional wisdom recommends organizations should diversify their funding sources, but new research from The Bridgespan Group of 297 US-based nonprofits with over $50M in annual revenue shows that organizations grew by focusing on a single revenue category. This article delves deeper into the key findings to discuss three important practices for nonprofits that want to raise the money to achieve significant scale: 💰 Focus on concentration in one or two revenue categories. 🔎 Seek funding that is a natural match for your organization’s work. 🏗 Build dedicated capabilities and infrastructure to tap into the one or two revenue categories you’re focusing on.
