But mostly, technology has made us incredibly efficient. We can email, share documents, and access our data in ways that let us just get more done. Especially,
- These. I remember when we were first able to print mailing labels. Changed. My. World. And this is where we sat regarding technology for a good long decade. Technology was all about making things easier, more efficient. Unless of course, it was

How many of you, on any given day, think about technology in your organization if it’s not broken? Exactly. Technology, for the last decade, has been about the machines that we buy, and maintain, and replace. It’s been a cost center, and a necessary evil.
- Flickr photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fire_engine_red/2433233381/ What we’ve done is treat technology just like a paper clip. Really expensive paper clips! But technology isn’t like paper clips. It’s tough to argue that paper clips contribute to your mission, but technology can.

- I mean strategy in two ways: First, having a strategy for how you use technology, but it’s also something that should tie to your organization’s strategy. Here are some things to think about when building your strategy. You’ll want to think about your: Objectives Audience Content Tools How you’ll measure success WHY is articulating this strategy important? Notice that TOOLS is not the starting place.

- Flickr photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wili/214316968/ If you can’t articulate how the project ties to your organization’s strategy, it’s not worth doing.
- Now, restate your objective so it is “SMART” – Specific Measurable Attainable Result-Focused Time-based You can use this method for large or small objectives Outputs vs. Impact.

Its could be the public that will be using your new website. It could be both – end users administering a piece of technology and a public consuming parts of it.

You want to hit the major highlights. That doesn’t mean you don’t want to do some research. You do.

- Flickr Photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jp1958/4605284988/sizes/l/in/photostream/ So you’ve set objectives tied to your organization’s strategy. You know all the audiences you need to design the project for. Now you need to build the project out in a way that gives you the solution you need today, and that will support your work for as long as possible. You don’t want to do this all over in six months!
- Photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ribarnica/2199015518/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Now that you know more about what your audiences need, you can identify some of the requirements for tools. You don’t have to name names here, but rather the top-line features that you’re looking for. Depending on what the project is, you’ll do a much deeper business process analysis and perhaps an RFP process that you will use to choose a database or a website management tool, for example. You’ll also need to identify any limiting factors – are there specific technologies you have to adhere to? It’s important to document your constraints as well as your wishes.
