As competition for their attention increases, organisations need to consider the way customers’ perceptions and memories guide their attitudes and future behaviour. Richard will set out the principles and practice of ‘customer experience’, based on many years of research by Forrester and his experience of working with organisations in this area. Richard Sheahan, Principal Consultant, Forrester Consulting 11:15 - 11:45 Refreshment Break Grand Lounge 11:45 - 12:30 The Promise of Development Services Ballroom Development services is so much more than the "back shop" or data and reporting! We are central to everything in the advancement enterprise, and everything we do touches on every part of alumni relations and development. Caroline S. Chang, Vice President, Advancement Solutions UC Innovation 12:30 - 13:30 Networking Lunch Grand Lounge 13:30 - 14:30 Breakout Session 1 Research, Data & Analytics Track Ballroom Chair: Sarah Baker, Head, Prospect Information and Analysis, University of Cambridge Mind The Gap: Creating a Holistic Approach to the Supporter Journey At London Business School relationships are at the heart of everything we do, and we believe Operations teams are uniquely placed to steer and support the donor journey. In this session we will discuss the approach we’ve taken at LBS to leverage this in theory and in practice. We will showcase how we’ve put donor and stakeholder relationships at the heart of how we operate and the work we’ve done to embed development services as critical partners at each stage of the donor life-cycle. We’ll pay particular attention to how prospect development and donor relations complement one another in a new approach to prospect and pipeline management, in close collaboration with our fundraising colleagues. Attendees will come away with: • Principles of relationship-focussed process development and change management • Practical examples of successfully bringing stakeholders with you • Tools and tips for putting Operations at the centre of successful fundraising Jack Bourne, Associate Director Operations & Donor Relations, London Business School Molly Rowan, Head of Prospect Development, London Business School Strategy & Planning Track Waverley Chair: Katherine Muller, Director of Operations & Donor Relations, Advancement, London Business School Building a Great Customer Experience Prostate Cancer UK customers are central to achieving our bold 10 year strategy - to stop prostate cancer being a killer. By applying our working principles - the back bone to our brand - across everything we do and by recognising that every interaction matters, we hope to exceed customer expectations and build long term loyalty. In this session, we’ll talk you through what we've learnt so far and the three key elements that contribute great customer experience - culture, brand and an appetite for continuous improvement. James Beeby, Associate Director of Fundraising, Prostate Cancer UK Olivia Burns, Associate Director of Communications and Customer Experience Lead, Prostate Cancer UK Delivery Track Arundel Chair: Chris Webber, Head of Campaign Operations, Royal Academy of Music Successes, Challenges and Surprises in Setting up a New Supporter Care Team How do you ensure a consistently warm welcome to your advancement audience and beyond? Have an Alumni & Supporter Care team at your front door. A year ago UCL established the Alumni & Supporter Care team, to look after our alumni, donors, and to be a first point of contact for all those interacting with the Advancement office. 12 months on, hear about the successes, challenges, and unexpected turns involved in embedding a new function into a busy Advancement office. Rebecca Whitwick, Senior Alumni and Supporter Care Manager, UCL Practical Skills Track Great Central Chair: Jennie Moule, Founding Partner, Alveo Consulting Top 10 Features in MS Office for Data Handling & Reporting Do you ever think “there must be a better way to do this” you may just find that better way in this session, I will show the formulas and functions I use on a regular basis to assist with my work and how using these can make repetitive tasks much simpler. Some you may know, some you may not, some you may have never thought to use in this way, hopefully you will walk away thinking “I’m going to try that when I get back.” Craig Rayner, Data and Reporting Analyst, The University of Manchester 14.40 - 15.40 Breakout Session 2 Research, Data & Analytics Track Ballroom Using Insight to Inform Volunteer Programmes Exeter’s Alumni Volunteering Programme recently achieved its campaign target (60,000 volunteer hours) two years ahead of the campaign close. We’ve now set a challenging higher target of 90,000 hours, and are looking to continue to grow the programme beyond the current 1000 volunteers and 10,000+ hours per year. This growth will be supported by our new Volunteer Recognition Programme, which we believe will be an effective tool for volunteer retention, recruitment and stewardship as well as simply helping us better to say Thank You to our wonderful volunteers. The Recognition Programme has been designed using insights from an analysis of the campaign volunteer data to date, so we hope it will effectively reflect the level of engagement that each volunteer has experienced, and encourage them to increase their engagement to the next level too. David Smith, Data & Insight Manager, Global Advancement, University of Exeter Strategy & Planning Track Waverley Selling our Science – More Choice vs Less? After the success of the Create the Change campaign that raised £100m to build the Francis Crick Institute, CRUK’s fundraisers asked the question, what next? Hear from Caroline White, Senior Manager, Supporter Experience and Richard Oakley, Head of Research Information and Communications, on how they influenced the Charity to evaluate and prioritise a research portfolio of thousands of world-class research programmes and created a suite of the top 100 impactful fundraising projects. Caroline White, Senior Manager, Supporter Experience, Cancer Research UK Richard Oakley, Head of Research Information & Communications, Cancer Research UK Delivery Track Assembly The Regulated Donor Experience: GDPR and Major Gifts We’ve all done a lot of work in our organisations to put in place processes to meet the requirements of GDPR, but we also know that major gift fundraising should be bespoke and can often be unpredictable. So how do you implement these regulations into face-to-face relationships This session will explore how King’s College London and King’s Health Partners has worked with fundraisers to make compliance practical, using some case studies of the successes and challenges that we have faced so far in implementing GDPR processes into our major gifts programme. Joanna Carr, Head of Prospect Research, Kings College London Practical Skills Track Great Central How to Map a Supporter Journey What are the steps supporters are taking to achieve their various goals? How do they feel as they proceed along these journeys? Where could you help? Mapping journeys is a useful way to highlight points at which an education institution might be able to help supporters and engage them in more ways. Richard Sheahan, Principal Consultant, Customer and Digital Experience, Forrester 15:45 - 16:15 Refreshment Break Grand Lounge 16.15 - 17.15 Breakout Session 3 Research, Data & Analytics Track Ballroom Understanding the Role of Prospect Research in Major Donor Fundraising Nicola will present findings from a 2018 academic study which looked at the role of prospect research in higher education institutions across the UK. The findings shed light on unanswered questions relating to the way prospect research is viewed and utilised by major donor fundraisers, and if or how they believe it contributes to (or hinders) their work. Data from the study, the first of its kind in the UK, also shows how fundraisers and researchers work together, identifying typical barriers in the relationship but also showcasing examples of best practice in this area. The findings also show how prospect researchers are currently recording or measuring their contribution to fundraising, identifying common gaps in how we gather data which evidences the efficacy, compliancy and necessity of prospect research.

    L III A Communicave Interacon / N Literacy and Exper+se G M SIC OF LANGUAGE U A G E 2010 Malobe O F Women Singing M U Mbendjele S © J. Lewis: I C London 5-6 Sept 2011 Organised by Middlesex Language & Communicaon Research Group & Cambridge Centre for Music and Science seminar 3: communicative interaction/ literacy & expertise Introduc)on to the seminar series This seminar series aims to explore new direc3ons in the study of the relaonship between language and music in psychology. Language and music share many features: they are both composed of sequences of sub-units; both require these units to be organised according to conven3onal structural rules; they vary pitch, temporal and rhythmic features to convey meaning; they u3lize specific wri3ng systems; and they both organize coordinated or joint social ac3ons. The debate is s3ll open concerning the evolu3onary relaonship between language and music, their boundaries (what is unique and specific to each) and whether they do or do not belong to separate domains/modules. For instance, Brown (2000) proposed that language and music may be described as two end-points of a con3nuum in which sound would specialize to convey more affec3ve meaning (music) or referen3al meanings (language). This suggests that language and music are evolu3onary homologues stemming from a musilanguage common ancestor (see Cross, 2005; 2007; Fitch, 2005, 2006; Mithen, 2006 aer Darwin 1871). These ideas have s3mulated hypotheses in areas ranging from the neurological bases of language and music, to transfers of learning across the two domains, the use of music in neurological rehabilitaon and other clinical contexts, as well as theore3cal issues of embodied cogni3on and joint ac3on.

  • Louise Atkins I Have Recently Embarked Upon Doctoral Research
    PARTICIPANTS: A SYNOPSIS OF RESEARCH INTERESTS Louise Atkins I have recently embarked upon doctoral research investigating how music students within the UK conservatoire sector are educated and supported in matters of occupational health and wellbeing, and will explore the feasibility of implementing a national strategy and/or policy in this area. The notion of a single, national initiative is something that is becoming increasingly common internationally, and this project will assess whether UK conservatoires should also become more united on health-related issues. The task will be approached in a variety of ways, including a survey of current provision mapped against the perceived needs of students, an examination of established practice in parallel agendas internationally, and an exploration of the thoughts of key stakeholders on the possibility of a common approach in the specialist training of musicians. Although this project is very much embedded in the health sciences, my background is in music. As a clarinettist I studied at both undergraduate and postgraduate level within the conservatoire sector, however this is my first large-scale research project from a social science/educational perspective. I decided to take this route into more scientific, health-based research and make musicians’ health a key focus of my work whilst studying at the Hannover University of Music and Theatre on an ERASMUS exchange four years ago. There I was privileged to work with some world leaders in the field of music medicine, and I quickly grew to realise how important health and wellbeing is in both enhancing and prolonging a performing career. I have been working on developing the approach, design and methodology of this project from a health science standpoint, but am mindful that the research must be relevant, useful and useable in a practical way within a conservatoire setting.
