This session will look objectively at the technology developments that have occurred over the last 2 years which are transforming the not-for-profit landscape. Covering topics such as Cloud computing, workforce mobility, business intelligence and CRM, Tony will present a glimpse into the future with his view of the “modern not-for-profit”, combined with real world examples of how CEOs have already transformed their organisations through the use of technology. Speaker biography: Tony Nissen is the National Solutions Manager for R & G Technologies and has consulted to some of Australia’s largest and most successful not-for-profits. R & G Technologies is one of Australia’s leading IT consultancy and Cloud service firms specialising in the not-for-profit sector.

Not-for-profits are taking advantage of social media’s ability to facilitate and expand their impact by combining an organisational strategy with their professional online networks to connect, build relationships and establish trust and thought leadership. This way of operating goes beyond simply using tools like Facebook or Twitter and requires a networked mindset where openness and being ‘data-informed’ are essential. This interactive presentation will explore how not-for-profit leaders can improve their organisation’s social media use and embrace best practices of a networked not-for-profit, including measurement and learning, and avoiding some of the pitfalls and challenges.

Video is everywhere. Collectively, we upload 48 hours of video to YouTube every minute. Not-for-profits upload hours of video to their websites, Twitter and Facebook. It seems like every not-for-profit in the world is either using video – or panicking that they don’t know how. Simply putting a video up doesn’t mean anyone will watch it. We’re exposed to so much video today, viewers no longer have the time or patience for the bad stuff. If you’re video’s not good, it’s gone – and so is all the time and money you spent shooting and promoting it.

The use of an effective Client Relationship Management (CRM) system is widely accepted as an effective tool for growing your organisation. For not-for-profits these systems are used for fundraising, stakeholder management and sometimes case management of the client base. In practice, however, the myriad of choices in today’s market can be confusing and will not all offer the best solution for you. Do you purchase a system on premise or opt for Software as a Service (Saas)? Do the needs of your organisation change regularly and will your system accommodate the change? After making your selection, there is the added challenge of implementing the system and managing the change within your organisation to ensure the technology is adopted swiftly and delivers fast ROI.
