[PODCAST] Prioritizing Innovation in the Nonprofit Sector

Prioritizing Innovation: Getting Your Board “On Board”

We’ve all been there…You hear about a new technology or solution that you’re pretty certain will help your nonprofit to grow but it has a price. Convincing your board and donors of the value of testing and trying new solutions can be challenging. Although prioritizing research and development are normal parts of for-profit innovation, nonprofits rarely follow suit.

In this episode, Katie talks to Maria Clark, the EVP of Partnerships and Chief Evangelist for GrowthForce about how we can not only prioritize innovation in our organizations. She also gives us insight into how to move new solutions across the finish line in terms of approval and adoption.
