Technology Roadmap for an Association of Land Trust Organizations

A nonprofit association of land trust organizations had built its information systems organically, over time, without a clear strategic plan. As a result, staff distributed across the United States were using a variety of different technologies, often in silos, many providing overlapping functionality. Centrally provided information systems were often difficult to access and poorly governed. As a result, staff attempting to collaborate and work efficiently had to jump through many hoops to access needed information, and organizational performance was suffering. 

Build Consulting worked collaboratively with the organization’s stakeholders to assess the entire business and technology landscape and establish a set of mutually understood findings that put the entire organization on the same page regarding where it stood and what it needed. We then prepared, proposed, and achieved leadership buy-in on a clear four-year roadmap designed not only to improve the technology landscape, but also to develop the internal leadership, operational capacities, and process design to make future tech investments a success.
