What the heck is 'What The Tech'?
"What the Tech" is our four part workshop series designed to help organizations recognize, train, and empower accidental techies so they become authorized digital systems managers.
We believe that digital systems are mission-critical for the critical missions of today's nonprofits, however most digital systems are managed by staff without the experience or training.
-
Who is leading?
Tim Lockie, the founder and CEO of The Human Stack, is a globally recognized expert, LinkedIn Top Voice thought leader, keynote speaker and facilitator. His decades of experience advising, implementing, and transforming nonprofits started as an accidental techie so he knows first hand the challenges and importance of this work.

Why should I attend?
Accidental techies are crucial to their organizations. It’s time to demonstrate the real value of your role. Whether you're mitigating issues or leading new tech initiatives, this webinar equips you with the necessary tools, skills, and confidence to spearhead your organization's tech strategy.
-
Should nonprofits even HAVE Accidental Techies?
Yes! They probably should.
More than 80% of nonprofits have annual revenues of less than $1 million so it's not realistic to assume they could afford a trained technologist for their systems, even fractionally. (And that's without without the evil sisters of overhead myth and scarcity mindset!)
So whether it's called Accidental Techie, Unintentional Admin, or Digital Voluntold this role is here to stay. Not only are we supportive, we think this is one of the biggest leverage points in the industry for workforce development and upskilling.
We just want leaders to change "Accidental" to "Authorized" by formalizing the role and providing the necessary training so they can succeed.
