Quick Guides

From November of 2004 to December of 2006 we produced a monthly Nonprofit Online News Journal (There is now a Quarterly Journal), and in each edition there was a Quicksheet. Each of these addresses a very specific topic, and is meant to help you assess your own related work in a particular way. We've gotten great feedback on these and requests for more information. In response to this we have now started a new series of publications: Quick Guides. For each Quick Guide we start with a Quicksheet, then we add further descriptions, instructions, examples and worksheets. The end result is a Quick Guide that you will be able to put to immediate and effective use.

Civil society organizations have used the Internet to dramatically increase the number of people to whom they speak. I call this Scaling Up Talking. But the true power of the Internet is tapped when there is dialogue, when the conversation doesn't just go one way. Organizations now have to learn to Scale Up Listening. They need to start creating methods and tools for assessing how well they are listening. The HIMS Matrix is both a tool and a corresponding method, as well as a framework for further exploration of listening as an organizational practice.

This Quick Guide Includes: An Introduction, The Quicksheet, Instructions for Applying the HIMS Matrix, Three Online Listening Worksheets, Which Includes: A Full Page Printable Worksheet, as well as a Full Page of Instructions and Examples for Each One.

There are billions of dollars of potential savings to be had by the transition of donors from postal communication and telemarketing to email communication. These are billions of dollars that could go to programs of the nonprofit sector, but are now being spent on printing, postage, and phone calls during the dinner hour. Despite the advances in online communication made in the last decade by civil society, they have not yet made a significant dent in the huge expense of old media. Our new Quick Guide entitled Money on the Table: Calculating the Financial Opportunity of Email is meant to help you discover what your organization's financial savings may be.

There are four steps to the process of determining the financial opportunity of email: 1) Listing Communication Activities, 2) Analyzing Those Activities, 3) Calculating the Amounts Involved, and 4) Putting the Results to Work. This Quick Guide Includes: A Short Section for Each Step with Instructions and Examples, A Section about Understanding Marginal Costs, and Related Worksheets for you to put to immediate use.
