The lean and agile non profit

 

What can the non-profit sector learn from from the tech sector and vice versa?

Two sectors that are traditionally diametrically diverse, one moves slowly and is resistant to change, the other moves quickly, keeping up with trends and developments, constantly evolving to meet new needs and requirements.

  • However in the changing global landscape, both need to be more efficient, different, offer extra value and change their ways of working.
  • What can each sector learn from the other? What are some work practices that could benefit each?
  • We look at some practical examples of each sector to lead a valuable discussion.
