Tips For Leading Organizational Change

We all know leading change can be difficult, especially within an organizational setting where change often impacts a large group of people.

In an effort to better support our ServTracker customers, we have put together this resource page documenting one of our recent user conference presentations focused on change leadership. We hope this information is beneficial in support of your planning.

“Why should technology be an area of focus for nonprofits?

…To improve operational efficiency, increase mission impact and enhance sector competitiveness. We know nonprofit leaders and staffs want to adopt technology; that’s the good news. The bad news is, few integrate technology into their organizational strategy. Worse yet, they know this growing performance gap is limiting their organizational mission and fundraising potential.”
