Take Advantage of This Rare Opportunity: WSAE is bringing this leading-edge ASAE 2024 Annual Meeting workshop directly to the Pacific Northwest, offering you unparalleled access to top-tier industry leaders, insights, and strategies without the expense and travel.
A successful technology ecosystem means your teams and technologies are working together to make your association thrive. With a small staff working at max capacity, a never-ending wish list of new ideas amidst a fast-changing technology landscape, and a blurry line defining who is responsible for technology management, how and when does a small association make the best tech decisions to bring balance, build collaboration, establish dynamic processes that ensure efficiencies, align with strategic goals, and deliver member value? Based on a popular ASAE session at its 2024 Annual Meeting, join us on a journey to create successful technology ecosystems. Understand the blind spots, pitfalls, complexities, and communication you may miss along the way and find the stepping stones to success. Leave with an action plan for next steps.
Learning Objectives:
Identify and Overcome Common Challenges: Understand the blind spots, pitfalls, and complexities involved in managing a technology ecosystem within a small association, and learn strategies to address these challenges effectively.
Develop Collaborative and Efficient Processes: Learn how to build collaboration and establish dynamic processes that ensure operational efficiencies, align with strategic goals, and deliver member value in a fast-changing technology landscape.
Create an Action Plan for Technology Integration: Leave the session with a comprehensive action plan for making informed technology decisions, fostering team collaboration, and implementing successful technology ecosystems that support the growth and success of your association.
