The evolution of the NetHope Effect and its collective impact
 
In his latest blog post, NetHope’s Jean-Louis Ecochard provides a thoughtful description of the NetHope Effect:

“Our research continues to show that the ‘NetHope Effect’ is real. We are witnessing this effect in the digital transformation efforts of nonprofits, advanced through NetHope’s Center for the Digital Nonprofit. It suggests that being part of a collective action approach provides greater opportunity for nonprofits to innovate and create greater impact around the world.”

Check it out and find out more about how NetHope “offers a unique space to network the networks, that does not exist anywhere else.”
