Vera Solutions will be attending the 2017 MERL Tech Conference taking place September 7-8 in Washington, D.C. This annual event provides an opportunity for attendees – ranging from funders and program implementers to technology providers and other development practitioners – to showcase their work and discuss the future of technology tools for monitoring, evaluation, research, and learning (MERL).
This is the second consecutive year Vera is attending the MERL Tech Conference in D.C. This year, Vera is excited to take the stage to present two sessions: It’s Not the Tool’s Fault! How Change Management for MERL Tech Can Make or Break Your Implementation with Pact and Justice Rapid Response, and Small Data for Big Decision-Making alongside Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE) and TechnoServe.
During It’s Not the Tool’s Fault! How Change Management for MERL Tech Can Make or Break Your Implementation, Vera, Pact, and Justice Rapid Response will discuss the strategies, tactics, and tools available for organizations to mitigate common change management challenges while implementing new MERL technology. In Small Data for Big Decision-Making, Vera, ANDE, and TechnoServe will share insights from working across the development sector on the role of technology, organizational culture, and effective processes in ensuring that actionable data is optimized for decision-making.
We are very excited for the opportunity to present alongside our impact-driven clients and partners and we hope to see you in attendance.
