TODAY’S AGENDA
• Revisiting the origins of the ‘organization’
• The people-power to achieve shared goals
• Moving from fortress to sponge
• Who’s on deck? Millennials.
• Changing work patterns

History of a Jewish Communal Organization
• Shared practice
• Shared needs and goals
• Co-investment and
support
• Minimal ‘staffing’
• What else?

A Personal Story
![Page 8: UJA Fed NY Series: The Art of Being a Networked Nonprofit](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060115/5578ebe0d8b42a5c5c8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Lesson
NETWORKS ARE VALUABLE
WE TEND TO GROSSLY
UNDERUTILIZE
THEM.
Or attempt to use them in the wrong
ways.
Build your network now, before you need
it.

Fortress: Insiders in, Outsiders out

Sponge: Constant flow in and out
![Page 12: UJA Fed NY Series: The Art of Being a Networked Nonprofit](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060115/5578ebe0d8b42a5c5c8b4d83/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Questioning Assumptions
• What is PUBLIC or TRANSPARENT information?
• Who is ’inside’ or ‘outside’ of our community?
• What is ‘membership’?
• Where do we need to hire expertise?
• How are we evaluating progress towards our mission and
goals?

Micro-Planning
Communal need
or interest
Empower individuals to micro-
plan, experiment and evaluate.
(Remember, you don’t have to
do it for them)
Provide support (staff,
space, experience,
systems) as needed and
helpful
Listen to interests and
needs of the community
members
Try it out! Focus on short,
strategic bursts that can be
adjusted based on
feedback
Reflect on how these
’intrapreneurs’ went about
this task
The age of the ‘permanent
beta’

• Do old patterns increase complexity?
• Does your org have trouble letting go
of programs that aren’t effective
anymore?
• What technology tools can simplify
your processes?
• How can collaborations simplify?
