Reflecting on a Year of Impactful Collaborations at D4D 🌐🚀 At Data4Development, our mission is to empower nonprofits striving for positive change through the power of data. It's incredibly rewarding to witness organisations enhance their capacity and equip themselves with the tools needed to propel forward. As we look back on this year, we're thrilled to share some standout collaborations that embody our commitment to driving impactful transformations. 1. Netherlands Food Partnership 🌾 Our partnership involved streamlining internal processes and embedding these into their application landscape, ensuring efficiency at every step. Together, we worked towards a seamless operation, allowing the Netherlands Food Partnership to focus on what they do best—making a difference in the world of food sustainability. 2. Wilde Ganzen 📊 Empowering Wilde Ganzen to become a more data-driven organisation was a journey of harnessing insights. By leveraging data, Wilde Ganzen is now even better equipped to make informed decisions that amplify their impact, bringing about positive change through their work towards community-led development. 3. JASS (Just Associates) / Power Up! Alliance: 🌍 Collaborating with JASS on IATI training and support was a testament to our commitment to capacity-building. By providing hands-on training and helping them to take ownership of the publication process, we contributed to their ability to navigate the intricacies of IATI, fostering transparency and efficiency in their projects worldwide. As we celebrate these organisations’ successes, we express gratitude for having been a part of their transformative journeys. Here's to a new year filled with continued growth, collaboration, and positive impact! 🚀 #YearInReview #Collaboration #PositiveChange #Nonprofits #Impact

We have to re-imagine everything, including Governance. At #ImpactFest we gathered during a B Lab Benelux-led session to explore how going through the five sections of the B Impact Assessment could help a young impact food startup become a serious force for good. We keenly accepted the invitation to let our minds wander and imagine ways a start-up could go beyond current Governance Norms. 🌿 Appoint Mother Earth as their CEO 1. Giving nature a voice, voting share and representation 2. Incorporate rights of nature into your policy’s 3. Enable your employees to adopt Mother Nature as their decision-making compass. 🔵 Holistic Impact Analysis 1. Go beyond quantitative data and explore how to identify the non-measurable impact of your organization. 2. Re-imagine the way they collect & analyse data to include a wider range of data types and insights. 🔒 Lock continuous improvement into your policies.  🔑 Mission & Impact Lock 1. Lock the mission, ensuring that even when the company is sold the mission remains. 2. Lock your impact. Once they have identified their mission and the impact they want to create. They can also determine when their business will be obsolete. Accepting the S-Curve of birth, growth and death is daunting, but can also save us from companies that stick around long after they have served their purpose. #regeneration #foodtransformation #shiftinghorizons #sustainability #change B Lab Alyona Yuzefovich Lisa Ochsenreiter Ian Enserink Saskia Rotshuizen Carlos Polo-Barceló

"If you don't try to jump, then your competitor will. The prize is there for the taking, but it will be harder to take." Christopher Granville, Global Data. These were the challenging but exciting words we heard last week when two of our own, George Barton-Bull and Chris Williams (who look very happy about it in the photo), attended the #InternationalBeerStrategies Conference in Porto, hosted by Arena International Events Group and GlobalData Plc. The takeout from the three days was a theme of 'challenging but exciting', something we heard across the programme during what we all know is a volatile time for brewers and consumers. But as the quote says, there is hope and the opportunity for brands to lead from the front with innovation that meets consumers' changing tastes and social behaviour. This will no doubt blur the line between categories and attract new consumers. Andy Slee, CEO of the Society of Independent Brewers, recently said, "We need to look at other categories completely away from here to see how they're attracting Gen Z and what solutions they come up with." So, to bridge the gap between now and what's next, we created Future Possible, our new subscription service designed to inspire brands and help them navigate the future.
