Leadership and formal authority are not the same thing -- anyone who has experienced a bad boss can attest to that. Leadership isn't about giving orders; it's about giving inspiration. Formal authority is granted through position on an org chart, or through mandate (or sometimes fiat) from the senior management of an organization.

In the NTEN community, the concept of "IT Staff" has been more fluid and inclusive, but we also know that many nonprofit professionals who have information technology responsibilities are either not given formal "information technology" titles, or don''t self-identify as "IT Staff" -- and often both cases are true for an individual.

More orgs will hire CTOs. Technology will finally enter the c-suite of not-for-profit orgs. Other orgs will finally learn what I've known for 5 years: bring it in-house and don't silo your tech people, make one of them a c-suite leader. The hottest org in 2020? Expect this form of fundraising to mushroom.

Another benchmark we think is importmant for nonprofits to consider is the ratio of organizational staff to their tech-responsible staff. While we took a look at the number of tech staff benchmark in the first post in this series, I'd like to now turn to the org staff-per-tech staff benchmark.

As a web builder and tech consultant in a male-dominated field, this was far from news to me. But the "accidental" label felt safe, and I held onto it for years after I had established myself -- via training courses, skills acquired on the job, and successful tech projects -- as a career techie. Are things improving for women techies?

Here are some of the highlights: If you aren't articulating how IT relates to your mission, expect leadership to cut deep. If IT is not making a noticeable difference in how your org works, then it's failing. But Jason is lucky to work at an org where IT already has a seat at the leadership table. IT is not a cost center.

September 17, 2007 There is an interesting discussion happening between Holly Ross, soon to be ED of NTEN, and Allan Benamer , about web statistics, and whether or not nonprofits should be “transparent&# and publish their web statistics. And, he thinks that NTEN should be responsive to him, as a member, in asking to publish web stats.
