SUMMARY:Not All Systems Are Created Equal: Understanding Software as Strategy
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is being hosted by WVNPA \nMonday\, August 10th\, 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM \nRegistration Fees: FREE \nNot All Systems Are Created Equal: Understanding Software as Strategy\nREGISTER\nMost nonprofit teams don’t have a software problem. \nThey have a fit problem. \nThe tools work. The team is capable. And yet somehow the day still fills up with exports\, workarounds\, and spreadsheets living outside the system that was supposed to eliminate spreadsheets in the first place. \nThat’s not a performance issue. It’s usually a fit issue — and it’s a lot more common than people admit out loud. \nIn this session\, we’ll step back from feature lists and talk about something more useful: how to evaluate nonprofit technology as a strategic decision rather than a purchasing one. \nWe’ll cover:\n\nWhat’s actually on the market right now — the categories\, the tradeoffs\, and how to tell which kind of system is built for an organization your size\nWhy “free” isn’t always free — the costs that don’t show up on an invoice\, and when a no-cost tool quietly becomes a ceiling on growth\nBuilding a growth mindset into your tools — the difference between a system that manages the supporters you have and one that assumes you’ll have more next year\nA brief look at GiveSuite — a short demo\, and an honest walk through why we built it the way we did\n\nYou’ll leave with a practical set of questions to bring back to your team — the ones worth asking before any demo\, any renewal\, or any migration. \nBecause the most important question usually isn’t what can this software do. \nIt’s what kind of organization will this software help us become. \nIf you’re rethinking how your systems fit together — or just tired of managing the tools more than the mission — this hour is worth your time. \nREGISTER HERE \nMeet Sean Littman\, CEO & Founder of GiveSuite\n\nSean Littman is the Founder and CEO of GiveSuite.com\, a dynamic company at the forefront of nonprofit software and marketing. With a decade of experience in the digital marketing landscape\, Sean has a proven track record of building and scaling successful ventures. His expertise lies in strategic and unconventional marketing\, and a knack for problem-solving and developing exceptional solutions. \nSean’s strength lies in his ability to understand people and their needs through insightful conversation deeply. He then translates those insights into practical strategies and user-centric software at GiveSuite.com. He believes in democratizing knowledge and generously offers all his marketing content for free\, driven by a passion for seeing individuals and organizations learn\, grow\, and achieve their marketing goals. As a thought leader\, Sean drives innovation and positive impact within the nonprofit sector.\n\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/ZSMCGBgWSEm72cXfpnvSwA#/
