Lessons from Mapping the Nonprofit Talent Ecosystem: Finding the Talent You Need

Nonprofits struggle to find the talent they need. It can feel like an isolated problem, but there are larger forces affecting the influx and recruitment of talent in the nonprofit sector. Ecosystem mapping offers a way to see the whole system and find leverage points for change. It’s an easy-to-learn, participatory method of building a holistic picture of a system that can then be used for analysis and discovery. In this workshop, participants learn the basics of ecosystem mapping and apply the method in order to understand the challenges affecting talent in the nonprofit sector. Through an experiential activity, we will explore the nonprofit talent ecosystem and gain new insights into potential levers to pull in order to affect change.
