Show Notes
In this episode of The Responsive Lab, Carly Berna and Scott Holthaus sit down with Tim Lockie, founder of The Human Stack and longtime nonprofit tech strategist, to dig into a bold truth: technology alone won’t save your nonprofit.
Tim unpacks why so many digital transformation efforts fall flat, and what it takes to build a culture that embraces data, AI, and change without burning out your team.
Key Takeaways:
- Without aligned human behavior, the best systems won’t lead to better outcomes.
- Burnout often happens not from big changes, but from the accumulation of small ones.
- Nonprofits need a people-first framework to truly adopt new tools.
- There’s a big difference between individuals using AI tools and organizations making it safe and strategic.
- The success of your tools hinges on the trust and collaboration between people.
