The classic troubles of organizations

Rushing to deploy a specific tool without a well-thought-out plan for how to set it up

The tool then often fails to meet the unspoken expectations of the team, which slowly abandons it or begins to dislike it.

Trying out different tools using the trial and error method

It often depends on an individual, which takes a lot of time, and the solutions found tend to reflect their perspective on the matter.

No time will be allocated to digitization in the long term.

Without a systematic approach, digital tools are introduced randomly and teams do not use them regularly or effectively.

The Nezisk.Digital online course will help with systematic digitization.

Together with a guide, you will uncover the causes of problems and the real needs of your organization. With a tech expert, you will choose the solution that will most improve your functioning and impact. You will take away a detailed plan so that you know how to implement new tools and thinking in practice. It works elsewhere, and it will work for you too!

through a digital transformation

Information and document management

A lack of a system for managing documents, internal processes, sharing permissions, and clear names is not a major concern for individuals or small teams. However, for effective collaboration between multiple people, it is essential to properly set up a single source of truth with well-structured content, where it is easy to find, for example, a description of a process that an employee performs once a year.

OneDrive

During the course, they improved their document management principles overall (location, naming, sharing). They also learned how to set up the default view in OneDrive according to the needs of specific team members. As a result , they are more organized, have saved time, and have even started helping out at a new location, which was unthinkable until then.

MS Loop

In the course, the Social Agency focused on streamlining internal collaboration and transitioning from personal information sharing to the online environment of the Microsoft 365 platform. They chose Microsoft Teams as their "center of the universe" and began using Planner for systematic task tracking and Loop for real-time meeting notes. This replaced the previous haphazard monitoring of the agenda with a clear system that significantly sped up the transfer of information across the entire team and increased mutual awareness, regardless of whether colleagues were meeting in the office.

Internal communication and cooperation

A common problem is the multitude of different communication channels: WhatsApp, email, SMS, telephone. Information is difficult to find, or no one knows what is valid. Often, it is enough to define one platform for internal communication, deadlines, or project discussions, another for emergencies, and a third for communication with clients.

Google Workspace
Google Chat

As an umbrella organization for 80 centers, it addressed ineffective communication across its membership base and chose Google Chat to unify it (they were already using Google Workspace, so document sharing, for example, is easier). They thought through the chat settings, the use of threads, and are currently testing everything in a smaller team. In the future, they plan to invite the entire ČHS base (over 200 users). To make adoption as easy as possible, they are preparing a how-to guide.

Google Chat
WhatsApp communities

In the course, the Association of Community Services focused on streamlining internal and inter-organizational cooperation with the aim of replacing the existing, often inadequate email communication between its 53 member organizations. They chose a combination of Google Workspace (especially Google Chat and Rooms) and WhatsApp communities as the most suitable solution, as these allow easy connection via phone numbers and thus overcome the technological incompatibility between the different platforms used by individual members. With the support of a guide and close cooperation with the expert member organization Spirála, they have already launched Google Workspace for non-profits and are testing new communication channels in a pilot phase to unify document management and information sharing at all levels of the association.

Google Workspace
Google Drive
Intraweb / Knowledge base

At the same time, the organization was dealing with the lack of clarity of data on Google Drive, where it was difficult for team members to find specific files and remember their location. As a solution, they created a corporate intranet that serves as a clear hub containing frequently searched documents, colleague profiles for newcomers, and up-to-date information about what is happening in the organization. This tool enabled them to effectively "convert" the existing document library into a form that is easily accessible and understandable for all employees.

Project management and task assignment

Tasks that are only verbalized are often forgotten or difficult to track. The solution may be simple task tracking with assigned executors, deadlines, descriptions, and perhaps even time allocations. Subsequently, it is possible to consider using specific project management methodologies, whether waterfall or agile.

ClickUp

In the course, the Furniture Bank Federation focused on unifying a fragmented agenda and setting clear project management principles that would not be based on constant notifications, but on monitoring key milestones and work packages. After testing several tools, they chose the ClickUp application, in which they accumulate all their shared agenda, from projects and orders to meetings and marketing materials. With the support of guides, they also created a project guideline that defines their new "corporate culture" in the digital environment and sets rules for how to handle tasks and responsibilities within the team.

Human resources and HR

People come and go, so it's always good to have everything prepared in advance—employment contracts with different types of positions, including changes and project continuity, onboarding new members, and offboarding those who are leaving. At the beginning, it is enough to prepare the structure of contracts and records of changes, lists of tasks for onboarding and offboarding colleagues. All this must be done in compliance with cybersecurity rules – only specific people have access to contracts, while former colleagues have their access revoked.

SharePoint
Intraweb / Knowledge base

In the course , the Moravian-Silesian Employment Pact organization focused on creating a centralized induction training system that would serve as a unified learning portal for new and existing employees. On the recommendation of their guide, they chose SharePoint for this purpose, which allowed them to effectively use the Microsoft digital tools they already use in their organization. They currently have the portal structure and questionnaires for managers to define content ready, and they plan to launch it fully in January, which will provide them with a clear and unified platform for developing internal competencies and ensuring a smooth onboarding process.

Financial processes and accounting

It is crucial for organizations to have clarity in their finances. Sometimes, the same information needs to be entered into several systems. Larger teams need to fine-tune the process of recording receipts. These are also opportunities for automation, thereby eliminating the tedious, repetitive work of financial managers and accountants.

In the course, the MAS Brdy - Vltava organization focused on solving the problem of time-consuming manual checks of project data kept in Excel spreadsheets against accounting data. They approached the problem in collaboration with an expert who designed a specific automated operation for them, which aims to replace manual verification of items and unify these two data sources. Their solution is to implement this automated procedure, which is currently in the testing phase and promises that the system will perform most of the checks independently, thereby significantly easing the work of project management.

Pamica

In the area of financial processes, the organization addressed the high level of control and lengthy approval of travel orders, which required the involvement of many colleagues, from rank-and-file employees to budget administrators. In collaboration with a technical expert and a guide, they created an implementation plan that aims to link personnel records with budget tracking and ensure a history of changes. The chosen solution is to negotiate the purchase of specific modules from the existing Pamica system supplier, which will enable the organization to manage shared positions more efficiently and make financial flows more flexible.

Client data and process management

Organizations have dysfunctional client record systems or lack an overall overview of records and client history. In addition, the processes of registering new clients or event participants are manual, which makes them time-consuming and prone to errors. The introduction of a unified record system, where there are links to the relevant documents or even all client data in one place, will save the organization time and also help to secure client data.

Existing MS365/Google Workspace and AI platforms

Although this is not the problem itself, many organizations are aware of the underutilization of already purchased or available platforms (e.g., Google Workspace, Microsoft 365). There is also a general effort to integrate tools more effectively, automate processes across different platforms, and introduce artificial intelligence (AI) into everyday work. This category often highlights the underlying problem of underutilization of resources or modernization of the organization.

Automation

In the course, the Roska České Budějovice organization focused on maximizing the efficiency and interconnection of its existing platforms ( Freelo, CRM, accounting program, and bank) in order to eliminate the duplication and tedious manual entry of the same information into multiple systems. A key element of their digital transformation is process automation, which includes automatic payment matching, sending thank-you emails to donors, and simplifying registration for charity events. The organization has made great strides in the use of artificial intelligence (Gemini), which they have begun to apply, for example, to convert paper attendance records into digital format for import into CRM, saving them several days of work. To ensure long-term independence, the team is intensively learning how to prompt correctly and, in collaboration with a technical expert, is preparing a "cookbook," i.e., a practical guide that will enable them to manage and modify the automation settings in the future without external assistance.
