You are days away from an unusual Nonprofit resource. Mingle with Forprofit companies and learn growth secrets. You know how to offer your service with excellence. the ScalinUp Summit in Atlanta May 21-23 will make your work sustainable (and you’ll sleep better!)
Why There Are Summits
Verne Harnish collects thought leaders twice a year to help businesses and nonprofits who want to grow. Scaling Up philosophy is that to 10X your business, you have to 10X your people. And to 10X your people, you have to 10X yourself. Summits are two days of nonstop quality ideas – like getting a drink from a high-pressure hose. One company brings along a secretary just to take 25 pages of notes to review afterward.
Scaling Up Summits and Coaching are an investment of time and money with the promise that your nonprofit will get tools to grow.
BUT
There is also a cheap approach to the firehose if you’re not sure. Buy the books now that Summit speakers have written and you’ll be convinced of the value.
Reading is a Cheap Way to Drink at the Firehose
I have started to read a book a week to get ready.
Last week, I read a book from one of the Summit speakers who will be in Atlanta in May. Mariya Yao wrote ‘Applied Artificial Intelligence – A Handbook for Business Leaders.’ It’s an easy read and gets leaders up to speed on using Artificial Intelligence in your nonprofit. (Spoiler Alert – you are already using weak artificial intelligence, so you have started!)
I’ve been scared of Artificial Intelligence because it sounds expensive. It sounds like new software ($$$) and new staff to understand the software ($$$) with me to raise the money ($$$$)
Mariya begins with the cheapest of ideas -what do you want to know? Artificial intelligence starts with the intelligence of leaders! Who knew? I actually brought managers together last Thursday to ask that question. What a great session as people gave different ideas as to why the school is so successful. I made a tool to guide our discussion. Email me if you want to try something with your team and I’ll send a copy.
Join Me in Atlanta, Invest in Future
Join me in Atlanta after you read a book and see what you’ll will get. Invite board members too. We’ll have a late night session Tuesday night to meet and review the day. Text me before you register because there is a nonprofit rate.
Keep reading for scaling!
I liked this article so much that I bought Jessica Calarco’s book. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/25/upshot/the-relentlessness-of-modern-parenting.html
