-It's time to embrace the change and drive innovation
SYDNEY, Nov. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Leaders from some of Australia's most prominent Not-for-Profits will gather at Australia's Not-for-Profit Leaders Forum, organised by Akolade, in Sydney between the 5th- 7th of December to share their successful case studies on how to make an organisation stand out, grow and bring its staff with you on this ever-changing journey.
Australia's Not-for-Profit sector is now facing ongoing challenges as never before. Many NFPs and charities are struggling to be sustainable and remain viable in the new commercialised market.
Last month, the Australian reported that the sector sees 3,000 new charities pop up every year, competing for the same decreasing amount of funding and grants.
However, there are a few key areas that have come up during our research that leaders of an NFP can do in order to put their organisation in a better position.
- Firstly, it's all about navigating the organisation through an era of change. Leaders need to ensure that there's a clear goal that the organisation is working towards while also engaging all staff to work towards it.
- Once the leaders have this leadership mindset, they need to develop strategies to embrace and drive change, rather than shy away from it. The leaders should also ensure they are at the forefront of the latest trends, rather than ten steps behind.
- Now that the leaders are embracing change, it's about time to embrace technology. If utilised correctly, technology can bring an organisation anything from increased efficiency in regards to admin work to how to improve donor relationships, target a broader market and grow the brand and increase transparency and business accountability.
- Last but not least, the leaders need to ensure they have the right employees for their organisations. Most NFPs are filled with staff with big hearts fighting for the good cause, but they may lack the financial skillset, marketing strategies or business development, someone from a corporate background could bring. Attracting the talent that will take the organisation to the next step is critical, and having engagement strategies in place to retain them is equally crucial.
Attendees will gain best strategies on how to develop a strategic leadership that drives the organisation forward and implement strategies on how to redesign the business to the current market.
