🦋 Transformation is never easy—but it’s worth it. 🦋 A few weeks ago, one of our Co-Founders Rachel Hofbauer underwent spinal fusion surgery to correct her Scheuermann's kyphosis. She had been living with it for years, but deciding to take this step was as daunting as it was necessary. The fear of the unknown loomed large—how would I feel on the other side? What if something went wrong? That’s where Alexandra Pitzaferro, Angie Tosaw and the incredible team led by 🥼 Dr. Tyler Koski at the Northwestern Medicine Spine Center changed everything. They brought humility, expertise, and a collaborative spirit to every stage of this journey. 💡 A roadmap for transformation: They charted clear steps for preoperative preparation, the surgery itself, and the long road of recovery ahead. 🤝 Support through the unexpected: When complications arose (and they did), they looked out for me every step of the way. 🔄 A true transformation: The results speak for themselves—my spine looks entirely different now. But more importantly, I feel the shift in what’s possible for me moving forward. This personal transformation was a reminder of what we do at Hofbauer Consulting. Just like this surgery was a major change for my body, digital transformation can be a daunting change for an organization. At HC, we approach your transformation with the same expertise, humility, and care. Change can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to guide you every step of the way—before, during, and long after. To anyone facing transformation—whether personal or professional—know this: it’s not easy, but with the right team by your side, it’s possible. 🦋 #NonprofitCTO #Leadership #Transformation #DigitalTransformation #Collaboration

AI will change EVERYTHING for nonprofits... or will it? 🤔 The AI hype cycle dominated 2024, promising endless innovation and revolutionary product launches. But as we enter 2025, it’s time for some hard truths: nonprofits can’t afford to fall for every shiny tool. 💎 Last year, nonprofits were bombarded with AI-enabled chatbots, predictive donor scoring, auto-generated impact reports, and smart email assistants—add-ons that often overpromised and underdelivered. So, what will actually deliver impact in 2025? 💡 Impact over novelty: Which AI tools truly streamline operations or amplify outreach, and which are just shiny distractions? 🤝 Data ethics: Are you protecting donor trust as you embrace new tech, like predictive scoring or chatbots? 🦾 Mission-aligned, scalable solutions: Are your tools solving bottlenecks and adapting to growth, or are they just trendy and impractical? As we reflect on the hype of 2024, the survivors will be the technologies that align with nonprofit missions and solve real problems—not just those that promise revolution. AI, chatbots, and automation can be game-changers, but only with a strategic approach grounded in real problems. 🚨 Your turn: Is your nonprofit using AI—or other tech solutions from the 2024 hype cycle—to drive impact? Or are you still navigating the disillusionment? Let’s discuss below! 👇 #NonprofitCTO #Nonprofit #Technology #AI #Innovation #Impact #DigitalTransformation
