25. Understanding Data + AI Lifecycle - A Practical Guide for NGOs (Part 2)

Most nonprofits are curious about AI. But where does it fit into your data journey? If you’re wondering how AI can move beyond experimentation and create real value for your organisation, this session is a practical place to start. In Understanding the Data + AI Lifecycle, Part 2, we break down where AI can play a role across the six stages of the nonprofit data lifecycle: Plan → Collect & Consolidate → Store → Transform → Analyse + Visualise → Act with Data The session draws on real examples from Digital Green, Avanti Fellows, and Dalgo’s own experiences to show how AI can support everything from data collection and transformation to visualisation, analysis, and acting with data.
