#480 Musings Beyond the Bunker (Wednesday October 12)

Good morning, MANAGEMENT CONSULTING FOR NONPROFITS Yet another musing on nonprofits… In being a non-profit board member, some of the discussion inevitably comes to questions of growth. Increasingly, I think the discussion may evolve to one of consolidation. First, growth is not always the objective—the objective is to serve the people whom the organization is pledged to serve. If the goal is to have universal preschool in underserved communities, it doesn’t matter whether it comes from your organization or another. It is not a question of competition for “market share.” Each organization should be concerned with results, regardless of the source of those results. There is no reason to trip over other nonprofits that are providing the same or similar services in the same area. The responsible thing is for the organization to move on and reposition to provide services to others.
