You face daily choices amidst the constant changes in philanthropy. How do you decide which change to embrace and which to dismiss as a fad? Which changes—whether systems or processes—will create space for the essential, impactful work supporting your mission?

Watch this on-demand webinar for a dynamic conversation with several of your peers in philanthropy about organizational change management. We tackle questions like:

  • How do we decide which organizational changes are needed and prioritize these changes to align with our missions?
  • How can systems, processes, and people unite to support relationship building as a fundamental need in our sector?
  • How can tech positively enhance relationships?
  • How can we effectively filter through all the trends driving change in philanthropy to focus on the right elements for our work?
  • How can tech be used to give more voices a seat at the table?
  • How can we make decisions with a lens of inclusivity and adaptability to support our nonprofit partners?
