What if I told you that right now, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help shape the future of work in the nonprofit sector and refocus on social change? You like the sound of that don’t you? In this episode, my guests — authors Allison Fine and Beth Kanter — join me to talk about how we can get there by remaking work in the nonprofit sector with the help of smart technology. Today’s nonprofit leaders are not short on passion, but they are short on something else — TIME. But by integrating smart tech we can offer ourselves something my guests refer to in their new book, The Smart Nonprofit: Staying Human-Centered in An Automated World, as “the dividend of time.” Imagine a future where leveraging new technologies and organizational change add value to our missions and for our stakeholders. Building a smart nonprofit can bring you closer to this vision — but what does this look like? And how can we use the time we get back through digital transformation to reprioritize social change? Listen in as my guests and I take a deep dive into human-centered software and how to use it ethically, responsibly, and intentionally in today’s nonprofit world.
