Technology is changing the game for organizations in the social space and informing the sphere of nonprofit management. In this audio interview with John Powers, nonprofit technology consultant Paul Lamb explores how the web is already transforming nonprofits and NGOs, and looks ahead to the potential that ubiquitous mobile computing, virtual worlds, user-generated content, and social networking have to upend traditional constraints and open new doors. He argues that although the pace of change can be daunting, venturing into the tech frontier can increase effectiveness and help smaller nonprofits take their destiny into their own hands.
