Frequently Asked Questions
My agency already uses contracted resources to meet our administration needs. Why would I need The Wisdom Group as well?
It's totally understandable if you are a small non-profit without in-house resources that you would contract with outside experts to meet administration needs as they arise. The Wisdom Group can add value to what you already have by keeping you up-to-date on the latest technology solutions and people practices through our regular features and webinars. We can help you find savings you never knew you had.
What's the advantage of using technology solutions?
There are so many websites and apps online it's mind-boggling. It would take ages to figure out which ones might be of value to your organization. But seriously, there's a reason why they exist. Digital technology literally reduces tasks that used to take days into minutes. You're able to readily share information, track activity and costs, access data, collaborate with others, and more. Essentially, technology solutions let you do alot more with much less, and with a much lesser risk of human error.
What if our people don't need or use computers in their work?
We hear this alot, especially in the human services field where interpersonal contact is a critical factor in helping others. The last thing you want is for technology to be a distraction from the important work that people do. When it comes to using technology at work, there are two realities here: 1) older workers may resist it; 2) younger workers may expect it. It's important to know your workforce and how you can make the best use of what's out there without over or underwhelming the people who work for you.
Do you only serve Non-Profits?
Actually, no...we've had lots of interest from small to medium-sized businesses that also don't have in-house resources. The same needs apply to both. Our fees are equally low for businesses as they are for Non-Profits.
Why would a business choose to use the Wisdom Group's services?
Small business and Non-Profits have a lot in common. They are both stretched for time and money.
The Wisdom Group caters to organizations that do not have in-house resources of their own, e.g. HR, IT, Training, Communications, Social Media Marketing, etc. We have consultants on board with experience in the private sector, in particular small tech firms, who understand your needs and your challenges and how to overcome them. And...we charge the same low fees to both non-profit and private alike.
