Whilst we can present as a music organisation that makes beeping noises with kids, we are actually interested in positively impacting their sense of wellbeing. Every case study you’ve ever written or read has been done after the fact and has been hand-picked to show the project in the best light possible. Here’s how we’re doing it.

I decided several weeks ago, for a variety of reasons, to retire my independent consultant hat. Being an independent consultant was, for me, a way to feel like I was using my skills for the greater good. I’ve been doing this work for more than 10 years now, full time for about seven of those years. And, I think I did that.

My theory of practice is different than my consulting philosophy. The client is quite knowledgeable about their organization, mission, and goals for a project, but often not knowledgeable about technology. I think, actually, all technology consultants, whether they do what I do, or hack code, should do this exercise.

Open source is becoming mainstream, and people (that is, people with money) are starting to throw big bucks in the direction of open source projects, and companies that provide services for open source projects. This is going to make these projects better, and make support for them more available.

Both reflective practice – that is the process of reflecting on what you do, and how you do it, as well as conscious, deliberate evaluation of projects, are things that are not very common in our field, nor things that are valued or encouraged. In many ways, we are focused on solving technology problems , or completing projects.

I expect that this will enhance the appeal of LinkedIn for nonprofit executives, staff, and consultants for our own networking needs. It all sounds like LinkedIn wants to pull all of those people who have been migrating to Facebook back into their fold, with the idea that LinkedIn is serious about business. It’s an interesting strategy.

I think part of the answer has to be to provide the resources for people to become better providers – whether it be to help budding accidental techies get off the ground to become great IT staff or independent consultants, or helping individual and small consulting firms learn what makes really good nonprofit support.
