Problem solving

We have a varied skill set here at Circle. After our Christmas get together we can boast about a few more; like stealing magic swords from ancient Japan, finding Blackbeard's treasure and lifting a variety of curses!

SEMD - Creating elegant workflows using CiviCRM and Drupal integration.

The Client

SEMD is a leading source of professional support enabling the region’s museums to evolve and flourish. They provide grassroots support to museums in the South East. They provide timely advice, as well as essential funds to drive development and skills building opportunities for the workforce.

Funded by Arts Council England, their mission is to sustain an inclusive, thriving, and dynamic museum sector that reflects the diverse narratives and cultural heritage of the South East of England.

SEMD website

South East Museum Development had a CiviCRM database,  but it wasn’t built with their users and workflows in mind. Therefore, much of its potential had remained untapped. Circle worked with the organisation to co-design a solution that meets the needs of the team members.

The Results

Following our product demos, the SEMD Product Owner chose to build a training guide herself with video tutorials. Training is now easy to implement for current staff and new recruits.  Staff have quickly become much more confident entering new data into the system and team members can now trust information to be more accurate because there is virtually no way to get it wrong. Data collection is now increased and reporting is more reliable.

By utilising Drupal and CiviCRM integration, we simplified the workflows without compromising the functionality of SEMD’s database.

 

Can efficiency drive positive change?

We've been meeting with representatives from Membership organisations in London on Monday at Memberwise Excellence 2022. As one would expect, many of those discussions included:

"How to achieve better efficiency, how to build faster workflows, and how to save costs?"

Automation is key to optimising internal operations. Having a system that works for your people is key. Understanding the needs and motivations of your stakeholders also holds the key to understanding your organisation.
