• Understand the nature of a support/service role• MUST be mutual – if either dominates nobody wins• Each MUST understand the other’s job• Databases are tools, not an end in themselves• Raw data is unusable – format, format, format• Be sensitive – fundraising is an emotional job• Demand sensitivity – research can be a lonely and
unappreciated job

Scenario 3• Fundraisers expect you to update database and moves
management system– Is this unreasonable?– Is it sometimes or all the time?– Can it be made easier for
fundraisers?– What’s the solution and
whose problem is it?
