Quick question for the nonprofit leaders in this community:
When you adopted your last AI tool, what problem were you actually trying to solve?
I ask because I'm hearing the same thing from EDs across the country right now. They added AI, and somehow ended up with more on their plate, not less.
It makes sense when you look at it closely. AI tools generate outputs you have to review.
Automations fire at times you have to check. Drafts land in your inbox that need decisions.
Without a clear operational picture underneath all of it, you've just added a layer of new decisions on top of the old ones.
That's not a tool problem. That's a strategy problem.
The good news: it's fixable. And it doesn't require scrapping everything you've set up. It requires getting honest about what you're actually trying to accomplish and building back from there.
