Mission drift is a common challenge for nonprofits. As the years fly by, it’s easy to lose focus of the original mission and of the core values that shaped your organization. This is particularly problematic during a technology transformation. If you don’t have a clear idea of what you're really trying to accomplish and how to measure success, your new CRM won’t be structured to deliver the best results. That’s why it’s vital for nonprofits to undergo strategic planning beforehand to align their new technology with their mission!
Provisio Director of Advisory Services Amitis Oskoui ensures nonprofits achieve maximum impact with new technology by guiding them through a comprehensive strategic planning process during implementation. Amitis explains what nonprofits need to consider during this process and reveals the strategic considerations for adopting AI in nonprofit work.
