Session 1: Future of IT in Nonprofits
• Recognize the role of technology in moving missions forward
• Use pyramid framework to strategically understand different roles of technology in organizations
• Learn where to look for future trends before they disrupt you
• Use the “discover and harvest approach” to discover and amplify pockets of innovation

$200,000 in shared tech innovation pilots (like I4D)$1,000,000 in increased NGO skin-in-the-game (SITG = 20%)

IF• 57% of ERP projects don't realize their ROI
(Nucleus Research) • 66% IT projects fail (Standish Chaos DB) • NGOs spend a 20th what corporations do
(Tuck survey)• And we are spending donors’ dollarsTHEN • We must find a better way...
Non Profit IT Departments Can’t Play the Odds

Key Conclusion: we can’t do it alone
Even if we tripled IT spending, we will still be playing catch-up for just keeping the lights on.
And…

“If you’re a CIO, you need to spend a lot of time out on the fringes of the Web because that’s where the innovation’s taking place. You need to spend a lot of time with people under 25 years old.” –Gary Hamel

Some Potential Disruptive Themes
• In-country corporations and the rise of CSR - supply-chain savvy corporations inviting NGOs to join their relief efforts
• Beneficiary driven relief - The beneficiary kiosk – beneficiaries ordering relief supplies
• Survivor assessments – survivors as sources for assessment and demand data (Ushahidi)
• Renegade partners – in-country partners who decide to go it alone
• Direct funders – direct connections to people and projects (Kiva, Uncultured)

Toward Relevant IT – A Manifesto
1. Mission-Moving Projects. Technology matters. We believe ICT can move missions, which is the most strategic application of ICT to which we can aspire
2. Good Enough Applications. Small is beautiful, faster to change, and fit for purpose
3. Shared Services. Sharing resources stretches and enhances what we do as individual organizations.
4. Lights-Out Infrastructure. To get in to mission moving app’s, we need to get out of basic IT operations. We need to shift the IT agenda from "lights-on" technology to “impact” technology.
5. Increased Experiments. Vary like mad. Pilot, prototype, trials. Partner to pilot: share the risks..

Six questions for Nonprofit Leaders
1. What new programs (that directly serve beneficiaries) have you helped engender that would not have been possible without the new use of technology?
2. What have you done to help close the "productivity gap" in the way your nonprofit delivers programs and operates as an organization?
3. How have you helped bridge the divide that will be caused by disruptive innovations in the nonprofit space?
4. For relief organizations: How have you helped disaster response be 50% faster with 50% greater impact?
5. How have you helped your organization attract and retain knowledge workers (and IT professionals) in the face of crisis of the baby boom generation retirement wave?
6. What are you doing to move commodity functions out of your organization and contribute time, dollars and support to the truly value-added functions of your agency?

Discover and Harvest
• Jerry Sternin and positive deviance– The value of discovering the exceptions
• Traditional approach is more an “assess and build” approach: – assess the situation, gather requirements,
specify the project, build it, test it and deliver it.
– problem is that this approach has a dismal history
• The “discover and harvest” approach: – finding those applications and uses of
technology in the far reaches of your organization that are already working.
42
![Page 43: The Tech Leadership Academy is made possible by generous funding from Microsoft Community Affairs](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815783550346895dc518cc/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
As Jerry would say “somewhere in your organization, groups of people are already doing things differently and better. To create lasting change, find these areas of positive deviance and fan the flames.”
43
![Page 44: The Tech Leadership Academy is made possible by generous funding from Microsoft Community Affairs](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815783550346895dc518cc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Discover and Harvest has a number of benefits
1. It’s already working somewhere; it leapfrogs over getting a new system to work. The pilot has already been run.
2. Some group has already adopted it; it doesn’t need to be sold.
3. It’s field-tested. Especially for international NGOs working in challenged rural settings, it works where technology is rare.
44
![Page 45: The Tech Leadership Academy is made possible by generous funding from Microsoft Community Affairs](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815783550346895dc518cc/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Why Don’t We See More D&H Approaches?
• It requires headquarters humility. • The best answers, especially if it
involves change, need to be from the inside out. – “Maybe the problem is that you can't
import change from the outside in. Instead, you have to find small, successful but "deviant" practices that are already working in the organization and amplify them.”
• Perhaps the CIOs role is chief amplifier. Find what’s working and can be taken to scale, and then shine the spotlight on it.
45
![Page 46: The Tech Leadership Academy is made possible by generous funding from Microsoft Community Affairs](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815783550346895dc518cc/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
How to take a “discover and harvest” approach
• Run a contest for people to submit their applications and uses of technology
• Recognize and reward them (it doesn’t need to be a cash award.)
• Put their name on the application. Most people take pride in what they do and want to be recognized for what they achieve.
46
![Page 47: The Tech Leadership Academy is made possible by generous funding from Microsoft Community Affairs](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815783550346895dc518cc/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Four Areas of Up-side Down Impact
1. Bottoms-up knowledge management,
2. The leadership of emerging countries,
3. External collaboration driving the internal agenda, and
4. Children as forecasters
All of these indicate the types of conversations we need to be having among nonprofits and with our corporate partners.

Bottoms-up Knowledge Management
• “There is no shelf” –Clay Shirkey– The triumph of folksonomies– And deep-indexing
• Finding the person rather than the content– Connecting the front-line– What’s the de facto social network?
• The need to learn from what I do– The problem of managing email – The case of the email sabbatical

The Leadership Of Emerging Countries
• The case of OLPC– Creating the category of emerging
country technologies• The case of the mo-ped server
– Disconnected email?– What’s the value proposition for the
bottom of the pyramid?
49
![Page 50: The Tech Leadership Academy is made possible by generous funding from Microsoft Community Affairs](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815783550346895dc518cc/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
External Collaboration Driving the Internal Agenda
• NetHope as a collaboration that works• “Why doesn’t the Alliance work like
NetHope?” – Building trust since 2001– NGO IT as beggars – don’t underestimate
under-funding– Centers of excellence
• Like-minded partnering – having impact with technology

“If you’re a CIO, you need to spend a lot of time out on the fringes of the Web because that’s where the innovation’s taking place. You need to spend a lot of time with people under 25 years old.” –Gary Hamel
Remember: Who are you spending time with?

3. How can we deliver programs in new ways with technology? (changing the delivery model)
4. What is the portfolio of basic phone-based applications that works in the field?
5. What is the portfolio of bite-sized operating applications that works in an underfunded HQ business model?
