How To Accelerate Innovation In Your Organization
Do you want to accelerate the speed of innovation in your nonprofit? You might first want to read, Optimizing Innovation by Braden Kelly. It summarizes a presentation by Steve Faktor of American Express.

- Business Models
- Systems and Processes
- Offerings
- Marketing
- Experience & Design
Check out Braden’s entire post. Ask yourself “How can I apply this to my nonprofit?” For example, in my organization we are taking a very hard look at our procurement procedures and we are looking for innovative ways to streamline them. In my division, we’ve also taken a look at ways we can use virtual meetings and other online tools (Adobe Connect to Google Docs to Zoomerang survey tools) to lower travel costs yet still be able to conduct team meetings.
