Wired for Good shows nonprofit professionals how to <ul> <li>Get their organization ready for the strategic technology planning process</li> <li>Dispel the myths surrounding technology planning</li> <li>Understand the benefits of strategic technology planning</li> <li>Overcome organizational resistance to strategic technology planning</li> <li>Define the roles and responsibilities of staff and other key stakeholders in creating a successful plan</li> <li>Make the best use of volunteers and consultants</li> <li>Find the funds to support technology implementation</li> </ul> In addition, Wired for Good is filled with practical suggestions, templates, and examples from real-life technology plans created successfully by nonprofits.

"Few issues are more challenging for nonprofit executives than aligning mission, strategy, and technology. The comprehensive strategic approach and excellent tools for technology planning presented so clearly in this book should help resolve this challenge for both small and large nonprofits alike." — Dave Thornton, president and CEO, YMCA of Santa Clara Valley "The detailed how-to approach provides an excellent roadmap for the largely neglected task of technology planning. Any organization that wishes to use technology strategically would benefit hugely by following the process presented." — Susan Packard Orr, chairman, David and Lucile Packard Foundation "Too many IT projects fail. The blueprint for technology planning presented by Joni Podolsky will help you build a solid system and derive real benefit from the money and effort you invest in Information Technology." — James M.
