Tech Networks of Boston (TNB) and TSNE MissionWorks are pleased to invite nonprofit professionals to view a 30 minute livestream of our upcoming Super Roundtable session at the Boston NonProfit Center. The topic of the livestream will be nonprofit operational capacity analysis, and our featured guest will be Quintus Jett, who serves as director of the Citizen Alum project of Rutgers University.
At 10:30 am, the segment on nonprofit operational capacity analysis will begin. It will cover:
- How to measure capacity within your nonprofit right now
- How to isolate a process within your nonprofit and increase its capacity
- How to increase capacity in your nonprofit without more money
Please note that this session will be tailored to the needs of any nonprofit professional who is tasked with making strategic decisions for a mission-based organization! No expertise in operations research, statistics, database development, systems administration, geographic information systems, or any other information technology specialty is needed in order to benefit from participation.
Here’s a little more about Quintus:
Quintus Jett creates capacity for public and nonprofit causes. His mission is to develop and restore local community resilience, in preparation for catastrophic risks (such as those arising due to climate change) and to marshal whole community responses to natural disasters and other extreme events.
Quintus has a doctorate in Organizations from Stanford University’s School of Engineering, specializing in the management of innovation and the strategies of high-tech firms. He has held faculty appointments across disciplinary fields in the most elite institutions: Rice University (business), Dartmouth College (engineering; liberal studies), and Rutgers University (public administration; business). His most public work is his translation of academic knowledge into a neighborhood-mapping method and project in New Orleans, which organized residents and other volunteers to participate in collection and reporting of local damage and rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina.
Quintus’s particular expertise is ‘organizing from the bottom up’, which has growing potential in networked societies where there is extensive adoption and use of smart devices and the internet; and ‘enterprising nonprofits,’ specifically, how mission-based organizations use data and technology use to achieve breakthroughs in their strategies and operations.
