??♂? Picture this: It's 2018, and I'm sitting in yet another strategic planning meeting, surrounded by sticky notes, SWOT analyses, and that one consultant who keeps talking about "paradigm shifts."
Sound painfully familiar?
I was a non-profit tech leader stuck in a 1990s business model, complete with:
Annual plans that were outdated before the ink dried
Metrics that measured everything except what mattered
The classic "spray and pray" approach to initiatives
A "strategy" document gathering digital dust somewhere in the "everyone" drive
(And yes, I had a Windows cell phone. Don't judge. ??)
Then in 2019, I arrived at Inteleos and discovered OKRs. Not the consultant-heavy, Silicon Valley version - but a practical approach that actually makes sense for mission-driven organizations.
?? Join me for "Mission to Action with OKR: A 2025 Playbook for Non-profits"
?? February 26, 2025 from 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EST
I'll share our messy, real, and ultimately transformative journey at Inteleos. You'll learn:
How to make your mission measurable (without selling your soul)
How to escape the "activity = impact" trap
How to encourage empowerment and team autonomy
No PowerPoint marathons. No consulting buzzwords. Just honest conversations about elevating our non-profit management practices into the 21st century.
This free session is for every non-profit leader who's ever stared at their strategic plan and thought, "There has to be a better way."
(Spoiler alert: There is. And you don't need a Ferrari to get there. ???)
