Last month we released our seventh annual report on nonprofit investment and practices regarding technology. I''d like to take a closer look at one aspect of our research and organizational practice: technology staffing levels. In our latest survey, we decided to ask about technology staffing levels differently.

I think that the best thing that happened in 2012 was that some of the 2010-2011 "bleedng edge" conceptual technologies stood up and proved they weren't fads. When NTEN asked me to write a "best tech of 2012" post, I struggled a bit. Peter Campbell. Nonprofit Technologist. Techcafeteria.

A close read of the lyrics provides a good framework for thinking about communicating horizontally (across departments or silos) and vertically (with everyone from senior management to interns) in your organization about technology. In many organizations, technology is viewed as separate from the work the organization is doing.
