TALKING POINTS
SPEAKER
Chloe Dickinson
Consultant
Organisational
development
Christian
Meyer zu Natrup
Managing Director
How we adapt our organisation
Some are doing well, many are not!
The defining difference:
Ability to absorb shocks
And use them to build advantage (more impact)
Digital & networked
organisations
Build on strengths
(merge, tranform,
restructure)
Robust funding
“We cannot save our way out –
we need to change and build on what we do well”
Tjipke, CEO @ War Child Holland
Restricted funding has largely held
up, whilst unrestricted was under
pressure.
Those organisations who fail (or
fail to scale) are not adequately
funded, typically due to:
• Wrong mix of restricted /
unrestricted funding
• Income generation not robust to
shock
How we fund our work
“We are shock-proofing our ability to
generate income.”
SOON: Restricted funding to be
under pressure as governments
begin to tackle rising debt.
Janet Yellen (designated US
Secretary of the Treasury) “the US
debt path is completely
unsustainable“
Act now by diversifying your
restricted funding base
Keep dialogue open, and with
unusual suspects
How we relate to each other…
The future of work arrived early!
Remote working
Staff wellbeing and safety
Changes to operations
New management styles and methods
Exposed as human!
“We cannot save our way out
– we need to change and build on what we do well”
Tjipke, CEO @ War Child Holland
Lessons we can build on
Authenticity
Openness
Innovation through collaboration
Revisit capabilities
Invest in relationships
Agile
“We have less meetings and
more trial & error”
Programme manager, Synergos USA
“Our historically grown work
processes are simply too
over-engineered & too slow”
Ops Director, European NGO
How we relate to each other
“ I knew we were failing when
we still talked about going back
to normal in Summer 2020”
UK charity trustee
“Best thing we did in 2020:
outsource what we can &
concentrate on what we do
best”
German/Austrian NGO CEO
20% to 40% of people may stay largely remote. Two key challenges relate to this transition:
• Decide on the role of the office itself! (Do we need real estate? Space between desks? Training & Development?
Is there such a thing like remote mentorship? Culture?)
• Adapt the workforce to requirements of agile, automation, digitalisation and outsourced processes
Green recovery impacts grants and policy. This means NGOs must decided on
• How do we travel?
• How do we report our new emissions? How do we get these to ZERO?
Shocks will come back frequently (possibly once ever 5-10 years). We should have answers for:
• How do we simplify and shock prove our essential processes?
• How autonomous can offices/ work clusters work?
• What culture, skills and attitude must we have to keep working in the next crisies?
Stakeholder capitalism is coming of age. It’s a chance to engage with Corporate, and a threat to be partially replaced
by them.
Nine years until the SGGs are due. We should have a public answer for how will we get there.
What we already know about the next decade...
“Data & Analysis is everything. Data
are the new steam engines. Know the
data, and you know what to do”.
- Tjipke @ War Child Holland
“The work process needs to automatically include measures
of quality & compliance – as a manager I cannot control
remote work processes. I need to have time to care about
people, not compliance”
- US/UK NGO client
How we find purpose and direction
THANK YOU!

Running an NGO in a disrupted world

  • 1. Running an NGO in a disrupted world Lessons learned from leaders who adapted
  • 2. How we adapt our organsisation to… How we fund our work in… How we relate to each other in… How we get direction & purpose in… …this new normal Presentation with 10 slides followed by Q&A and discussion. Content is free to share. TALKING POINTS SPEAKER Chloe Dickinson Consultant Organisational development Christian Meyer zu Natrup Managing Director
  • 3. How we adapt our organisation Some are doing well, many are not! The defining difference: Ability to absorb shocks And use them to build advantage (more impact) Digital & networked organisations Build on strengths (merge, tranform, restructure) Robust funding “We cannot save our way out – we need to change and build on what we do well” Tjipke, CEO @ War Child Holland
  • 4. Restricted funding has largely held up, whilst unrestricted was under pressure. Those organisations who fail (or fail to scale) are not adequately funded, typically due to: • Wrong mix of restricted / unrestricted funding • Income generation not robust to shock How we fund our work “We are shock-proofing our ability to generate income.” SOON: Restricted funding to be under pressure as governments begin to tackle rising debt. Janet Yellen (designated US Secretary of the Treasury) “the US debt path is completely unsustainable“ Act now by diversifying your restricted funding base Keep dialogue open, and with unusual suspects
  • 5. How we relate to each other… The future of work arrived early! Remote working Staff wellbeing and safety Changes to operations New management styles and methods Exposed as human! “We cannot save our way out – we need to change and build on what we do well” Tjipke, CEO @ War Child Holland Lessons we can build on Authenticity Openness Innovation through collaboration Revisit capabilities Invest in relationships Agile
  • 6. “We have less meetings and more trial & error” Programme manager, Synergos USA “Our historically grown work processes are simply too over-engineered & too slow” Ops Director, European NGO How we relate to each other “ I knew we were failing when we still talked about going back to normal in Summer 2020” UK charity trustee “Best thing we did in 2020: outsource what we can & concentrate on what we do best” German/Austrian NGO CEO
  • 7. 20% to 40% of people may stay largely remote. Two key challenges relate to this transition: • Decide on the role of the office itself! (Do we need real estate? Space between desks? Training & Development? Is there such a thing like remote mentorship? Culture?) • Adapt the workforce to requirements of agile, automation, digitalisation and outsourced processes Green recovery impacts grants and policy. This means NGOs must decided on • How do we travel? • How do we report our new emissions? How do we get these to ZERO? Shocks will come back frequently (possibly once ever 5-10 years). We should have answers for: • How do we simplify and shock prove our essential processes? • How autonomous can offices/ work clusters work? • What culture, skills and attitude must we have to keep working in the next crisies? Stakeholder capitalism is coming of age. It’s a chance to engage with Corporate, and a threat to be partially replaced by them. Nine years until the SGGs are due. We should have a public answer for how will we get there. What we already know about the next decade...
  • 8. “Data & Analysis is everything. Data are the new steam engines. Know the data, and you know what to do”. - Tjipke @ War Child Holland “The work process needs to automatically include measures of quality & compliance – as a manager I cannot control remote work processes. I need to have time to care about people, not compliance” - US/UK NGO client How we find purpose and direction
