Online Seminar: Nonprofit Technology Consulting Skills

Announcing our next online presentation of this seminar: Apr. 25th, 2008, 8:30 am - 2:45 pm (PDT). The field of nonprofit technology consulting has grown and evolved enormously in the last few years. One of the essential tensions in the field is the sense that technology consultants, in order to do their job responsibly, have to become communication and management consultants as well. As nonprofits get more sophisticated and the technology develops to address mission critical needs, this tension is only getting worse. These seminars will address that tension head on, by identifying appropriate roles in the consulting process and by helping technology consultants ground their work in the communication needs of the organizations they serve. The three section topics are: Communication Centered Technology Planning Responsible and Successful Promotion of Technology Projects Common Flaws of Nonprofit Technology Projects Our seminars are intended for the professional staff of nonprofit organizations, specifically those working in communication, fundraising, or technology. Our packages tend to be tightly focused on a particular professional field and our seminars deliver lessons that can be immediately applied within a particular professional's field of authority.

At the same time, you now have access to one of the most powerful trust building media of all time - the Internet.

Online Seminar: Nonprofit Technology Consulting Skills

Announcing our next online seminar: Mar. 14th, 2008, 8:30 am - 2:45 pm (PDT). The field of nonprofit technology consulting has grown and evolved enormously in the last few years. One of the essential tensions in the field is the sense that technology consultants, in order to do their job responsibly, have to become communication and management consultants as well. As nonprofits get more sophisticated and the technology develops to address mission critical needs, this tension is only getting worse. These seminars will address that tension head on, by identifying appropriate roles in the consulting process and by helping technology consultants ground their work in the communication needs of the organizations they serve. The three section topics are: Communication Centered Technology Planning Responsible and Successful Promotion of Technology Projects Common Flaws of Nonprofit Technology Projects Our seminars are intended for the professional staff of nonprofit organizations, specifically those working in communication, fundraising, or technology. Our packages tend to be tightly focused on a particular professional field and our seminars deliver lessons that can be immediately applied within a particular professional's field of authority.
