How does IT make your NFP more successful?
Not -for-profits come in all shapes and sizes in New Zealand and many of us are involved in many of them – supporting our community in ways that resonate for us.
Not for profits measure success differently to other organisations. Rather than shareholders, they are concerned with stakeholders. Rather than profits, they think about how they serve their community and impact they have.
But just like other organisations, IT is central to achieving their goals.
From how they engage with volunteers, to how they deliver community services, from how they connect with other organisations to how they relate to local and central government, IT plays a leading role in their success, Successful Not-For-Profits RELY on IT.
Here are the key questions every Not-for-Profit should be able to answer about their IT – Whether you are the CEO or a board member
1. Are you meeting your obligations to your organisation’s stakeholders?
2. Are the appropriate IT Governance controls in place to protect your community value?
3. IT is more than silicon – have you ever stress tested the human side of your I.T?
4. Are you maximising your Not-For-Profit’s technology investment?
5. Who really controls your organisation’s IT systems and your data?
6. Do you have an appropriate Data Privacy Policy?
7. Does your NFP have the right relationship with your IT provider?
8. Is your IT strategy meeting the business needs of your community?
9. Is the board doing enough to get the cyber-security cost/risk balance right?
10. Are your staff or volunteers your organisation’s biggest security risk?
