I help you extend the reach and impact of your mission through the creation and use of open artifacts.
What does an open innovation consultant do?
I work with nonprofit leaders to:
- Determine what aspects of your organization can be shared with others as open artifacts projects with the goal of enabling others to replicate your success. In that way, you can scale the impact of your work to a global level.
The outcome
An organization that leads the way in proven solutions to critical problems.
How do I know I'm ready for open innovation consulting?
A. You are wanting to scale and serve more and more people, but it doesn't make sense to grow any bigger.
Corporations scale by growing bigger and bigger until they're multi-national behemoths that cause more damage than they help. Nature scales by replicating itself. An open artifacts project is like a seed that allows your ideas and proven systems to be adapted and replicated all around the world, creating a forest of organizations that can provide life-sustaining services to many more people than you could alone.
A. You have some processes that you've developed that you know could benefit other nonprofits.
Nonprofits share a lot of the same challenges with fundraising, managing volunteers and more. If you have a system that works, you can become a leader in the nonprofit community by sharing it with other organizations.
In return, you will likely receive back new ideas that can make your system even stronger. As organizations implement your idea, they'll come up with more ideas that you never thought of.
