Jeff pushes for a measured approach, starting small and iteratively expanding AI usage as the organization gains experience and comfort. He draws an analogy to training an intern, highlighting the need for continuous learning and refinement. "AI learns," he explains, "but we have to teach it what it needs to know”The understanding you'll get from this lively chat is the importance of viewing AI as a powerful tool that, when used responsibly, can significantly enhance nonprofit operations.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show
AI is not just for tech giants—it is accessible, and with the right approach, it can empower nonprofits to achieve their missions more effectively. In the nonprofit world, staying current with technology is essential for efficiency and growth. In this Nonprofit Power Week episode, Jeff Hensel, a director at Eide Bailly, highlights the importance of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into nonprofit operations. AI offers a wealth of opportunity, but as Jeff points out, it's essential to adopt it thoughtfully.Watch on video!“AI is completely possible in your organization, but you need to be ready for it before you start using it,” Jeff begins. Nonprofits need to assess their current processes, secure their systems, and ensure leadership and staff are aligned in their understanding of the technology.The fascinating conversation touches on AI's potential for streamlining time-intensive tasks, like data management, freeing staff for more strategic work. As an example, Jeff describes how robotic process automation (RPA) reduced one client's workload by 70%, allowing them to focus on higher-value tasks. Such automation, he suggests, can be a game-changer, especially for smaller organizations with limited resources.While the fear of AI replacing jobs is a common concern, Jeff describes to host Julia Patrick, that AI, when implemented correctly, enhances productivity without diminishing the human element. It's about improving processes, not eliminating roles.This video treatise with Jeff, is that nonprofits, regardless of size, are encouraged to start small—perhaps with automating content creation or donor communications—and build from there. This gradual integration allows teams to see immediate benefits, reducing fears and fostering a culture of innovation. Ultimately, the key to success with AI is to “map your process” first, ensuring that you're automating well-thought-out systems rather than perpetuating inefficiencies.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show
Enjoy this buzzing conversation about the cutting-edge world of artificial intelligence (AI) in the nonprofit sector. The theme? Winning the Tech Game! Jeff Hensel, a tech expert from Eide Bailly, with a background at Microsoft, brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to the conversation, sharing game-changing insights on how nonprofits can harness the power of AI. “At the end of the day, AI is going to become pervasive,” he says. . . . . .Whether you're a chemist, an accountant, or a nonprofit leader, the future is clear: AI will be integrated into nearly every aspect of work. The question is, how can nonprofits stay ahead of the curve?Watch on video!A key theme of this discussion, with cohosts Julia Patrick and Meico Marquette Whitlock, is the gradual, mindful implementation of AI. As Jeff describes, “It's a process…you don't want to go too big in terms of your scope.” He emphasizes the value of starting small, especially with manageable tasks like content generation or HR processes, to build momentum and achieve quick wins. This cautious yet proactive approach helps nonprofit organizations avoid the pitfalls of rushing into AI adoption without a solid foundation in place. The trio also talk about the human element of technological change. Meico suggests how a successful AI integration depends heavily on people's buy-in and engagement, saying “From a psychological perspective…it's actually healthy in terms of being able to support long-term change,” adding that employees need to see tangible short-term results to maintain momentum and alleviate fears about AI displacing jobs. And Jeff goes on to concur, stressing that fostering a culture of trust and continuous learning is crucial for navigating the complexities of AI adoption. Organizational success with AI lies not just in adopting the technology, but in aligning it with long-term strategic goals and ensuring strong leadership support. Jeff shares that AI should be seen as a tool to complement, not replace, human efforts, with its true potential unlocked when approached thoughtfully, with careful planning and organizational buy-in.

Nonprofits, like other organizations, are facing a pivotal moment where technology, particularly AI, is becoming increasingly central to operations. However, adopting new tech is not always seamless, and nonprofits often struggle to integrate these changes effectively. In this Nonprofit Power Week Day 2 episode, cohost Julia Patrick, along with Meico Marquette Whitlock, engage with Jeff Hensel, Director at Eide Bailly, in a discussion about preparing nonprofits for technological changes.Watch on video!Jeff begins by describing how one of the key components for success in adopting technology, especially AI, is understanding data. He explains that AI is built on data, both structured and unstructured, and organizations must be strategic in managing this data. He says, "AI is built on data...you need a strategy for both structured and unstructured data," reinforcing that a well-thought-out data management plan is essential for leveraging AI effectively. Without this strategy, organizations risk inefficiency and even potential security issues. This thought provoking conversation also explores the cultural barriers within organizations that may impede technological progress. Meico highlights that organizations often fail not because of the technology itself, but because of a lack of alignment and culture within the organization. He points out that having formal data systems in place is not enough if informal, disconnected systems persist—employees may still rely on their personal methods, like using Dropbox or thumb drives, which can undermine collective efforts. . . . . .reinforcing the importance of a shared vision and consistent organizational practices.Finally, the trio talk about governance and security, reminding nonprofits that technological change is not just about adopting the newest tools but also about safeguarding data and ensuring that everyone is on the same page. As Jeff suggests, nonprofits must think holistically about technology, emphasizing the importance of governance structures that align with the organization's long-term objectives.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

His remarks reflect how AI is not a distant futuristic tool but an immediate reality that nonprofits must integrate into their long-term planning. Rather than feeling overwhelmed, he suggests that nonprofits approach AI like they would a new intern: "AI can add value, but it needs direction and guidance from humans to be truly effective." This synergy between human oversight and AI capabilities is where the real magic happens.As Jeff continues, he touches on the exponential growth of AI technology, warning that nonprofits should not fall into the trap of thinking AI will solve all problems instantly.
