YWCA South Florida: building a digital foundation for lasting impact

We worked with YWCA South Florida to turn years of knowing it needed integrated technology into a clear, practical path, from choosing and implementing the right systems to preparing its leaders for AI.

Nine months, two phases

F.L.I.T.E.

The challenge

YWCA South Florida serves some of Miami-Dade County's most vulnerable populations: survivors of violence, women building economic independence, and families navigating systemic barriers.

For years, the organization knew it needed integrated technology, but the right path forward remained elusive.

Our approach

We worked with YWCA South Florida on a nine-month digital transformation, from selecting and implementing the right CRM and intranet to preparing leaders for AI, guided by our F.L.I.T.E. framework.

Phase 1

Technology foundation

Selecting and implementing the right CRM and intranet.

Phase 2

AI readiness and foresight

Preparing leaders for AI, guided by our F.L.I.T.E. framework.

Leadership

A Transformation Group of senior leaders steered the work, supported by an AI strategy training program.

I

Innovation

Two AI pilots were planned, in Grants Management and Finance, to turn readiness into practice.

T

Team Agility

Thirty staff Intranet Champions were named to lead adoption, so new tools are used by people, not just installed.

E

Emerging Technologies

A CRM and case management platform and a staff intranet were selected, giving YWCA a connected base to build on.

The result

YWCA South Florida selected and contracted a CRM and case management platform and a staff intranet, named 30 staff champions to lead adoption, and began preparing its leadership team to plan for AI, including two pilot projects.
