Is my organization ready to change?
Want to know a secret about moving online or implementing any type of software? The software is the easy part. We take the time to learn as much about your organization as possible because the best predictor of your success implementing a solution is your organization’s level of readiness for the project.
Some questions to ask yourself are:
- Do I have time to dedicate to the implementation process?
- Do I have the support and agreement from the people within my organization to make this change?
- What are my primary reasons for moving to online grantmaking?
- What are my goals for implementing a new grant management solution?
Of course, there are many more questions to ask, but these will clarify whether or not you are ready to begin the process. The simple fact is no two grantmakers are exactly the same. Your thoughts, your effort, and your involvement are the most important ingredients of successfully moving online.
