NTEN is hosting the Online Nonprofit Technology Conference - a two-day virtual conference taking place on September 16 and 17th. If you are on the fence about signing up, NTEN is offering up 25% discount. Remember the whole conference will be archived, so you if you can't spend the entire two days online listening in real time, you can always download the audio files and listen later. (I'm planning to download to my Ipod and listen while walking.)
The conference speakers are a veritable list of who is who in the nonprofit tech world and you get a free copy of "Managing Technology to Meet Your Mission." You can register here.
I'm presenting on ROI and Nonprofit Technology on September 17th at 11:30 am. My presentation is based on Chapter 3 of NTEN's book. The chapter includes detailed checklists, case studies, and how-to steps for analyzing ROI for nonprofit technology projects.
I'm going to start with a very brief primer on ROI which will provide a basic overview of the concepts. But the real learning (I hope) will come from a couple of ROI cliff hangers that I've created. Participants will apply what they've learned using the interactive features of the Webinar software to vote or suggest ways to resolve a common ROI problem that nonprofits typically face.
So, think of the Perils of Pauline where each installment ended with Pauline placed in a situation that looked sure to result in her imminent death but was able to escape at the beginning of the next installment. I've created a couple of scenarios where IT staffers Paul or Pauline are faced with a typical ROI challenge.
What's your biggest ROI cliffhanger? How have you resolved it?
