Episode Doing IT Assessments at Nonprofits Pt 2

0:00 28:03

In part 2 of this two-part episode, Carolyn continues her conversation with CEO Johan Hammerstrom and Senior IT Consultant Nuradeen Aboki: what you actually get at the end of an IT assessment, and what to do with it.

This episode covers:

• Assessment deliverables — the comprehensive report, prioritized recommendations, strategic plan, and IT roadmap, and how they connect findings to what leadership actually cares about • Two key principles behind a successful assessment • What a healthy nonprofit IT environment looks like, category by category • Key takeaways and next steps if your assessment points toward a change in IT support • Audience Q&A on timing an assessment around staff transitions, whether smaller nonprofits need an assessment too, and what type of assessment may be most helpful.
