Nonprofit Organizational Change and Development
Steering a nonprofit toward organizational change takes thoughtfulness and foresight.
Often, it also requires some help from the outside to understand and address the real issues driving the need for change, and the external environment in which the organization is working.
Many nonprofit leaders make the mistake of not getting buy-in from board members and staff, and not adequately communicating to their constituencies the change they want or need to make. Organizational change also may demand forecasting and even business plans.
But the payback can be enormous: A leader can ensure that the organization keeps up with the many things that can affect its work, and remain relevant and sustainable.
