In this session, we’ll look at how to embrace this value in your grant team to help your team thrive at a sustainable pace. Life in a nonprofit, whether a fundraising team, program team, or senior leadership team, rarely goes *exactly* as planned. The needs of those you are serving, or an unexpected request from a funding partner, or a shift in leadership at a collaborative partner agency can create an unexpected change.
The teams that thrive despite these changes are those that have a process for how they adapt to emergent needs and also promote and encourage a mindset to handle change. This may sound like a soapbox you have heard quite a bit throughout the pandemic, but it isn’t ONLY a soapbox. It is an approach in any team that can actually help you create twice the impact in half the time related to whatever the goal of your team is.
Learning Objectives:
- What are the Agile values that help teams
- Ways to prioritize your team’s work
- Methods to process and prioritize changes/interruptions
- An approach to make your team’s reactions and consequent reaction to change visible to your peers and stakeholders
