Our mission here at NTEN is to help you use technology to change the world. A lot of our job, then, is to try to stay on the cutting edge to see how it might be used in our sector.
But we spend most of our time talking about the basics: how to lay a good foundation for technology use and management. In fact, we've been talking about planning, budgeting, change management, and related topics since before I joined NTEN nearly seven years ago.
This is why we decided to write Managing Technology to Meet Your Mission and hold the Online Technology Conference.
These are topics that have plagued IT people, accidental techies, executive directors, and anyone else wrestling with technology decisions in their organizations. If we're still talking about these issues a decade later, maybe its time we take this stuff seriously enough to see if we can get some real solutions out there.
Let's start the conversation now. We want everyone to participate in the dialogue, and of course, the Online Nonprofit Technology Conference.
So, share with us your greatest challenge in managing technology in your organization in the comments (outside of time and money; we know you need those). On Tuesday, September 8th, we'll pick 2 folks to win free registrations to the ONTC -- and every serious commenter will get 25% off registration.
All you need to do is share your comment below. Just make sure to include a link to your website when you do, so we can track you down with your reward.
Get to it! What's your greatest challenge?
