GLOBAL SHIFTS
“LITTLE TECH” MAKING FOR HUGE WINS
Technology was only thought of in terms of major systems
The tech used “between” the systems gets ignored
PREVIOUS APPROACH
Higher efficiency for individuals adding up to greater wins overall
EMERGING APPROACH
Personal tech is becoming a higher priority
![Page 9: Getting Your tech on: Critical Skills in the Evolving Nonprofit Sector](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58ece9f91a28ab54138b4583/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
GLOBAL SHIFTS
“TECHNICAL SKILLS” SHIFTING TOWARD IMPACT, NOT TOOLS
“Technical Skills” were only about tools (i.e. Microsoft Word)
Employees only developed tool specific skills
PREVIOUS APPROACH
Employees understand role of tech and can adapt with shifting tools
EMERGING APPROACH
Skills now around process and approaches (i.e. online fundraising)
