    Leadership, Tech, and Transformation: Rescuing Nonprofit Projects Gone Off Track

    On this episode of Return On Insights, host David Lindover sits down with Scott Billows, CEO of BelMar Consulting, for a candid look at why so many technology projects in nonprofits and public organizations go sideways — and what it actually takes to get them back on track. Scott pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest culprits of failed Salesforce implementations: a gap between leadership’s vision and what technical teams execute. His remedy? Align leaders early, set expectations clearly, and make sure everyone is rowing in the same direction from day one. He also breaks down the unique challenges nonprofits face when navigating digital transformation — from limited resources and stretched teams to the critical role of board support. With organizations striving to scale personalized services, Scott shares how his teams stay agile while keeping leadership fully engaged throughout the process. As AI and new communication tools reshape the sector, Scott offers a hopeful but urgent message: nonprofits that embrace tech-savvy leadership now will be the ones defining the future. If you care about driving mission-driven impact through smarter technology, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
