Mission-Driven Digital Transformation: Why Culture Beats Technology | Michael Toguchi, Orchestrate CSO
In this episode, Donna Mitchell speaks with Michael Toguchi, Chief Strategy Officer at Orchestrate (a division of E Resources), about digital transformation specifically designed for mission-driven organizations. Michael shares how nonprofits, foundations, Catholic charities, and faith-based groups can reduce manual workflows and scale sustainably without adopting corporate frameworks that don't fit their culture.
Key Topics:
• Why mission-driven organizations need tailored technology solutions, not corporate frameworks
• The culture audit: Assessing readiness before implementing new tools
• Real ROI for nonprofits: Getting staff time back for impactful work
• AI applications for scholarship programs, donor management, and constituent services
• Building governance, compliance, and security into digital transformation
• The fatal mistake: Wrong people in leadership vs. fixable bad processes
Michael has over 25 years of experience driving digital transformation for universities, nonprofits, foundations and associations. His work powers organizations including Stanford, UC Davis, PG&E, the Roddenberry Foundation, and Google Certified Innovator Program.
