In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover talks with Sarah Olivieri about why great leadership requires more than great leaders. Sarah Olivieri (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-olivieri/) is a business coach and strategist with a passion for helping nonprofit organizations thrive, a #1 international bestselling author, and a former nonprofit Executive Director who now helps nonprofit teams as CEO and Founder of her company PivotGround. Her Impact Method™ is a framework that helps nonprofits simplify their operations, build aligned teams, and make a bigger impact without overwhelm. Sarah has over 8 years of nonprofit leadership experience, she also co-founded the Open Center for Autism and was the executive director of the Helping Children of War Foundation.

She created a framework that helps nonprofits become more organized, build effective teams, and make a bigger impact. Sarah and her team are moving the needle for nonprofits in one of the most valuable and under-leveraged areas - planning. Sarah debunks the idea of traditional strategic planning and also challenges our industry's current focus on "data-driven" decision-making.

In this episode of Nonprofit Architect, Travis talks with Sarah Olivieri.  Sarah Created the Impact Method, a framework that helps non-profits simplify their operations. Sarah and Travis talk about the process of improvement, the need to hear from the people on the ground, and why It is O.K. to pay your staff.      Conversation Highlights:  {00:35} Introduction of our guest {02:39} Explanation of the Impact Method {05:03} The Process of Improvement {09:54} The analogy of a sailboat racer  {12:10} Get your people to the point where they are coming with solutions instead of problems {20:19} How to make sure you are not strangling the growth of your organization {24:30} It is O.K. to pay yourself and others for the talents they bring to the table {28:12} How to be sustainable  {30:47} There are no unsolvable problems {32:04} The charitable experiments that showed people on the ground have the solutions {41:54} Solutions that are relatable, reliable, easy to implement {51:43} Finding the better, easier way to accomplish your goals   Remarkable quotes:  It is a living breathing thing that everybody who is running the organization is involved with.  Your essentially looking for trouble, we want to find it before it comes and finds you.  You need to be clear on who you are as an organization. If you cannot get by on 90% of your income than 120% of your income won't make a difference. You must refill your cup. You must put on your own mask first. Regulations and loopholes and weird things that happen because policymakers, not people on the ground, are setting the constraints for who gets money. The people in the non-profit who are doing the workday today need to be the ones who are determining strategic direction. If you're not including people that are boots on the ground or the direct care workers, you're missing the opportunity to get a solution. We have a structured process of how to set goals.

Sarah created those tools and they are transforming the organizations with which she works. We share her approach so you can think about your own organization. Maybe you too need to see it with fresh eyes. Enjoy this podcast, learn and share! Most nonprofits are organized with a lot of heart, which is to say, are relatively disorganized.  When they do manage to get “organized," silos often form, with invisible walls hampering communication and collaboration between departments, or between administration and non-administration.  There can also be entire functions that are missing, resulting in stagnated growth and diminished impact. Without the right kind of organizational structure, nonprofits are bound to feel overwhelmed as they struggle with delegation and wearing too many hats. What to do? Call Sarah Olivieri! Is your nonprofit stuck in the growth process? Sarah can fix that. The founder of PivotGround, Sarah Olivieri is a nonprofit strategist with a passion for helping human-service nonprofits increase capacity, deliver better programming, attract more funding, and best of all, make the world a better place.   Resulting from her many years working with nonprofits, Sarah has created a clear process for Executive Directors to not only stay focused on moving the organization forward but to overcome obstacles which naturally arise from growth.  Called the Impact Method™, Sarah's proprietary process breaks down a nonprofit's big, audacious goals into clear, easy-to-understand components. Designed to unlock an organization's true capacity and harness it to its full potential, the Impact Method enables everyone involved in an organization, from employees to donors to volunteers, to be energized, focused and pursuing the same bold strategy.  Sarah follows that up with the Impact Strategy™ and Continuous Action Plan™, so nonprofits can make clear progress and know exactly what to focus on next.  At SAMC, we tell our clients they need to know where they're going and have a plan for how they're going to get there. Helping them develop that plan is part of the work we do to help them drive change. Sounds like Sarah and us are on the same page!
