Description
So often organizations fall behind on technical innovation or continue using systems that aren’t serving them because of the challenges with cross-department collaboration. The truth is, these conflicts and discussions between teams or departments are as much a negotiation as one you do with an outside vendor.
In this session, we’ll review the language, process and framework that’s most effective for driving innovative decisions and investments forward – especially between the fundraising, communications and IT departments. The collaboration of these teams’ expertise can lead to prudent and thoughtful decisions, but requires highly effective communication to remain efficient and agile when it comes to technology.
We’ll apply these concepts to real world examples like selecting a new CRM, event management platform or stewardship tool.
