In this episode of The Responsive Lab, Carly Berna and Scott Holthaus sit down with Tim Lockie, founder of The Human Stack and longtime nonprofit tech strategist, to dig into a bold truth: technology alone won’t save your nonprofit.
Tim unpacks why so many digital transformation efforts fall flat, and what it takes to build a culture that embraces data, AI, and change without burning out your team.
Also in this episode, Tim shares:
- Without aligned human behavior, the best systems won’t lead to better outcomes.
- Burnout often happens not from big changes, but from the accumulation of small ones.
- Nonprofits need a people-first framework to truly adopt new tools.
- There’s a big difference between individuals using AI tools and organizations making it safe and strategic.
- The success of your tools hinges on the trust and collaboration between people.
