Course overview

From Talk to Tactics: An Actionable Guide to Turn Generative AI into an Ally

According to the Nonprofit Trends Report by Salesforce, 65% of nonprofits are open to AI and want to learn more, but there are 7 things nonprofits need to be confident about getting started – a clear understanding of AI and its benefits to nonprofits are top of the list. 


We will start here.


As generative AI changes nonprofit operations, nonprofit leaders have an important role in developing a mindset for AI that shapes an AI culture. This workshop equips leaders with the necessary understanding and methods to strategically adopt AI, prepare their teams, and manage associated risks effectively from assessing AI readiness to creating AI policies.


Participants will learn to thoughtfully integrate AI into their operations that balances the risk and reward.


The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant possibility - it's a strategic imperative. Nonprofit leaders no longer have to be last to the discussion of technology, because now, with this course, it supports leaders in navigating this shift with a clear vision, practical methods, and the ability to effectively manage their teams and stakeholders.


What you can expect in this course:


*Assessing your organization's AI readiness and identifying high-impact opportunities for AI integration


*Methods to evaluate and prioritize AI use cases that align with your mission and strategic objectives


*Strategies for effective change management and stakeholder engagement during the AI integration process


*Approaches to responsible AI deployment, including risk mitigation and building ethical AI practices


*How leveraging AI can enhance transparency, trust, and value for your organization's stakeholders
