Thank you for sharing IRIS. As a technologist for non-profits, it's something I've never seen before. Our industry is VERY fragmented.
Your point about standardized metrics and data collection is very key. Even the organizations that realize a benefit to being data-driven just don't have the staff background in what that means or how to do it. From programs to funddev, staffs are trying to work with the limited data they are collecting, and making poor extrapolations based on that.
Even working to implement good databases and good procedures can't make up for both executive level buy in and staff level training and understanding.
