Complexity quietly chokes far too many nonprofits—large and small. Spreadsheets multiply, meetings take over calendars, and software stacks pile up in the name of “getting organized.” But the truth is, the best-run nonprofits are not the ones that are more complicated—they’re the ones that are simpler.
In this episode, Matt Stockman breaks down how unnecessary complexity creeps into nonprofit operations, planning, and technology—and how to fight back with clarity and focus. Whether you’re still in the dreaming phase or already running programs, you’ll learn practical steps to strip away the clutter and lead with simplicity.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why complexity is quietly choking so many nonprofits
- The difference between a 40-page strategic plan and a 3-page action plan—and why the latter works better
- How to reverse-engineer your nonprofit’s growth by starting with a 10-year vision, then backing up to 5-year, 1-year, and 90-day goals
- The importance of auditing your technology stack to eliminate overlap and confusion
- How simplicity builds trust, improves communication, and accelerates impact
Practical Takeaways:
- Flip your planning process: Start with your 10-year vision, then work backward to today’s 90-day goals.
- Simplify your tools: Audit your apps, systems, and subscriptions annually—if a volunteer can’t learn it in five minutes, it’s too complicated.
- Revisit your vision yearly: Reassess your long-term goals each year to keep them relevant and achievable.
