Recently, I've been thinking about the launch of NTEN's newest resource: NTEN:Change, A Quarterly Journal for Nonprofit Leaders. We also wanted to make the journal interactive: like all of NTEN programming and resources, we wanted it to be a launching pad to connect you with peers, colleagues, and other resources in the community.

Our mission here at NTEN is to help you use technology to change the world. But we spend most of our time talking about the basics: how to lay a good foundation for technology use and management. This is why we decided to write Managing Technology to Meet Your Mission and hold the Online Technology Conference. .

We have challenges to overcome, including interpersonal and management issues around working remotely. Sales and Customer Support had to address the issue of productivity and results a long time ago. Managers in those organizations did observational "ride alongs", or recordings of calls and meetings with customers.

In April 2012 NTEN worked with Idealware to conduct a survey of nonprofits about their relationships with data, and what we found was a large dichotomy—either they were doing a lot with their metrics or not much at all. 41% are tracking external data about their issue area. 50% are tracking data about outcomes of clients/constituents.

Although we may not see blatant sabotage of technologies or culture within our own organizations during a technology change, we may notice some type of resistance to the new technology. This resistance can lead to such things as morale issues, absenteeism, productivity loss, and even turnover1. The George Washington University.

I am making an essentialist argument here, but it's my belief that unless we diversify our organizations by race and ethnicity, we will find it hard to succeed and stay relevant in light of the changing demographics of the country. This is because diversity is more than an ethical issue. It's become critical to their future success.

A lot of IT failures happen when people focus too much on one issue at the expense of another. Each role has different things they need to be conscious of, and they need to champion those issues so that important things don't get ignored as the project unfolds.
