RUTHLESSLY PRAGMATIC

We’re really bad
At all the stuff you think you need.
But we’re great
At all the stuff that actually matters.
We’ve probably heard worse.
What We Do
We build systems that really work for organizations that do real-world good.
At DARO we prioritize people, program objectives, risks and impacts; because the real reason you’re not getting great results from your technology, isn’t your technology.

This looks like:
Digital Transformation
Not a project you complete but a radical change in how your organization thinks.
A perpetual impact machine.
Data & Information Architecture
Shiny perfect systems assume reality will cooperate. It won’t.
You need resilient architectures for an erratic and irrational world.
Evaluation & Measurement & Learning
Impact measurement is often used to reassure organizations and their funders that they’re on the right path.
We suck at that too.
Data Sharing & Data Collaboratives
You’ve got data to share.
Who cares?
