This fall, the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network and Associated Grant Makers are once again partnering to host a second annual joint statewide nonprofit conference. Nonprofit Innovation: Doing things Differently – Doing Different Things will bring together nonprofit organizations as well as consultants and foundations to bolster their knowledge of effective practices thus strengthening their ability to carry out their mission and work.
Innovation has been, and will continue to be, an omnipresent theme for nonprofits throughout the Commonwealth. In these times, a creative lens is paramount to organizational sustainability and significant change. In 2010, the symposium comprises 24 workshops chosen from over 70 proposals that exemplify both “Innovation” (cutting edge, new thinking) and “What Works” (best practices that have been tried across several situations and organizations). This year, a minimum of 650 individuals are expected to attend and take part in this exciting opportunity.

It is now recognized that all nonprofits go through several stages of development: founding, growing, maturing and reinventing. An organization that is not evolving and is stuck in one of the stages of development is normally doomed to failure. Therefore, knowing what stage your organization is in and taking steps to move it to the next phase is crucial to keeping it on the road to success. This session will explore the following topics:
- Organizational life cycles, and why organizations need to change in order to survive
- Assessing what phase of the life cycle your organization is in, and what steps are needed to advance it to the next phase
- Warning signals that your organization is in need of change, and how to address these signals
- Managing power struggles and turf battles that inevitably result when an organization is in transition
- Ensuring that staff and other stakeholders support the transition fully
- How to measure whether the transition has been effective and if any further changes are needed
