Heather Ritchie on Change Management 24:18

11 weeks ago24:18

24:18

This episode brings an expert in change management, Heather Ritchie , to talk about skills. But, skills are more than a set of things you've learned. Skills are what your team, and your organization, need to work together and thrive. Heather is an expert with a long career of curiosity about teams: how do we work together as humans? What are the ways to manage human change for nonprofit teams to make IT projects more successful? And how can a team of people who care about their nonprofit and its mission strategize the skills they need to acquire or improve to increase their organization's ability to achieve mission? Can you execute a change management strategy without learning your teams’ skills, interests, and where they can grow into the new tech space you are creating? And do you have the trust on your team to do a skills matrix exercise in good faith? Heather discusses ways to create safety for your staff to be candid, honest, and vulnerable and build the team they want. Do you need a skilled facilitator? Do you structure the skills mapping exercise one-on-one or as a group project? In this conversation, Kyle learns Heather's approach to change management and skill mapping. Heather is a consultant with Build Consulting and has over two decades of experience in the field. She has led change management efforts in nonprofit, academic and corporate sectors, serving in a variety of roles from senior leadership to educator, coach and consultant. Heather brings a passion for connecting social purpose with the strategy, tools and technology to make the world a better place – on budget, on time, and for measurable impact. Our podcast is designed for audiences with varied experiences with technology. In this conversation with Heather Ritchie learn the role of skills in change management and strategies to motivate your teams to develop the skills they - and your nonprofit - need.…

This time on Transforming Nonprofits, Kyle catches up with Taj Carson, CEO of Inciter , to geek out on data. What does data mean for information strategy, technology, and the nonprofits of tomorrow? The topic of data is only becoming more and more important, but for so many nonprofits it can be an elusive topic. How are nonprofits making meaningful strides in data? Data has always been important – from monitoring and evaluation to getting an annual report right. With the increasing availability of AI, data is more important than ever. In this conversation, we learn Taj’s approach to data for nonprofits, her thoughts on the impact of technology and how she thinks good data helps nonprofits choose technology in the future. Taj Carson is the CEO and Founder of Inciter. Inciter maps data, integrates data systems, and automates data processes. The outcome? Beautifully designed, accurate reports. Effortlessly.

This episode features Watt Hamlett and Ryan Ozimek. With Kyle Haines, they all were invited to attend the inaugural Microsoft Global Leaders Summit. Kyle has known Watt and Ryan for a long time, so they seemed like a logical pair to bring their perspective around what was learned at the conference from Microsoft and its vision for Artificial Intelligence. They also got to hear from the nonprofit sector and learn how nonprofits are engaging and using AI in their work. Probably most exciting, Trevor Noah was the guest speaker, and they learned that he is not only an amazing comedian and satirist, but an amazing philanthropist and knows his way around technology. With that, let’s get into the conversation. Our Fireside Chats are designed for audiences with varied experiences with technology. In this Fireside Chat, learn more about leading nonprofits by understanding new technologies as they emerge, and how those new tools can fit your use case.…

Fireside Chat: Johan Hammerstrom on AI 37:09

37:09

This episode is all about AI and how it is impacting our working and personal lives now, particularly if you work at a nonprofit and you are trying to figure out where to invest in AI tools, and where to wait for the technology to develop further. Kyle Haines and guest Johan Hammerstom discuss fear of missing out, where to be cautious, and where to test-drive AI before taking the plunge. They discuss Microsoft’s Copilot at length as an AI application that everyone using Microsoft products will eventually see integrate across the Microsoft Office. Johan is CEO of Community IT Innovators , an MSP providing outsourced IT support exclusively to nonprofits. Community IT and Build Consulting have a long history of partnership and have worked with many of the same clients over the years. Kyle and Johan also go way back. Sometimes those conversations between colleagues and friends of longstanding are the best kind to listen in on, and this discussion explores questions and cautions that these experts have about this “wild west” phase of AI we are living through now as the technology sorts itself into products and services. They also touch on the ways different generations interact with knowledge, and the way our algorithms can make echo chambers out of the media we consume. Our Fireside Chats are designed for audiences with varied experiences with technology. In this Fireside Chat with Johan Hammerstrom on AI, learn more about leading nonprofits by understanding new technologies as they emerge, and how those new tools can fit your use case.…

Some of the best conversations are inspired by sitting around the fire and thinking of possibilities and visions – large and small. Guest Karen Graham has a long academic and practitioner career working with technology and nonprofits and asking the question “What is learning?” Listen to her conversation with Kyle to understand more about learning nonprofits. How you can work to define learning for your organization? How do you ensure your technology projects embrace learning as you implement and evaluate your nonprofit tech? How can your organization utilize learning as a differentiator, and what does that do to create tech successes? In this fireside chat Karen and Kyle discuss software selection and learning platforms, but their conversation is not limited to education platforms alone. Is your organization fully involving your stakeholders in design and decision making? What do your clients, grantees, and staff have to teach you? Where are you missing the expertise in your own network, and how can you build cultures and technology tools that help everyone contribute to what your nonprofit is learning? Our Fireside Chats are designed for audiences with varied experiences with technology. In this Fireside Chat with Karen Graham learn more about learning itself – how we learn, where learning occurs, and why being a learning organization is essential to nonprofits as they embrace technology.…
