The first lesson I learned while working in the healthcare industry was this: Expect change. Every year there was guaranteed to be a policy or procedural change that required change management , which led to the second lesson I learned: Figure out how to make the change last. Organizations that successfully navigate change management have also made culture shifts to ensure lasting change.

Of the many tasks you will tackle in the course of launching a new website , one of the most important ones is content migration : the process of populating your new website with the content that is going to tell your story.

For years we’ve talked about donors from the perspective of a “pyramid” or “ladder.” Those at the top are “major.” Those in the middle are “mid-level.” Those at the bottom are, generally, “new.” But it doesn’t really work that way. Especially not in our digitally revolutionized marketplace where outbound (push) marketing no longer rules. Today’s most effective marketers engage in inbound (pull) marketing.
