Tips for Unifying Your Not-for-Profit Operations

It is easy for organizations to become compartmentalized. However, isolation of one area of a not-for-profit from another can lead to inefficient operations and other difficulties. In a recent article from Forbes, eleven nonprofit professionals offer advice for helping not-for-profits break downing organizational silos.

Some of the advice offered by the Nonprofit Council includes:

• Encourage effective communication within your teams by asking questions at team meetings that tie projects together across departments.
• Strive to build trust and a team spirit among the different areas of your organization.
• Create an organizational culture that transcends departments and encourages your teams to work together.
• Ensure that all roles and responsibilities are clearly defined in order to improve accountability and efficiency.
• Encourage both formal and informal communication among your team and draw upon collaborative communication technologies, such as Slack.
