Achieving Innovation

By Kate Sphar, Senior Consultant, Dewey & Kaye

The positive response we have received to the 2011 Nonprofit Symposium, sponsored in partnership by Dewey & Kaye and the Pittsburgh Foundation, has brought to light the truly innovative spirit present in our nonprofit sector. With uncertainty inherent in our environment, it is even more crucial for nonprofits to think outside the box, find new solutions in old ideas, and solve problems creatively. As innovation guru Scott Anthony says, "the ‘new normal’ of constant change requires mastering perpetual transformation". And as our keynote speakers made clear, success lies primarily in the hands of leaders at the community level.

"Non-Negotiable Management Practices
Nonprofits Must Adopt to Thrive in 2011 and Beyond"

Many nonprofits are on the ropes today, fighting for their survival as our nation moves on from a poor economy. What does the next ten years hold for nonprofits? While we cannot be certain as to the specifics, we do know it is going to involve high velocity change. Thus, the ability of an organization to incorporate rapid, intense, continuous change will increasingly define its future success and value.

This is a challenging and complex proposition for the majority of nonprofit organizations because most are undercapitalized, facing severe state and federal budget cuts, incorporating and dealing with technological innovations, attempting to seek out new initiatives to generate revenue, and coping with new competition from for-profit entities.

This session will explore the non-negotiable management practices that nonprofits will need to embrace if they want to endure and thrive.
