Art of the Networked Nonprofit: URJ Social Media Boot Camp
The document discusses how nonprofits can adopt a networked model to achieve shared goals through collaboration. It notes that millennials prefer transparency, fast-paced and efficient work, and collaboration over traditional hierarchical structures. Nonprofits are encouraged to question assumptions about membership, hiring expertise, and evaluating progress. The networked model emphasizes empowering community members to micro-plan and experiment, and providing support as needed. This represents a shift from traditional fortress-like organizations to more porous and collaborative sponge-like structures. Risks of this cultural change are also addressed.
