Re: Monday, April 10, 2006
"Most nonprofits suck at organizing people" I'm curious to know a bit more about what the person who made that statement meant. And the context. In my limited experience, I find that to be true... for a non-profit that I've done some work for, and for a nonprofit that I volunteer for. But it's more than that. It involves ...burnout (induced from lack of organization) ...unqualified people mucking things up in the coure of daily work lives ...tyranny of the urgent. Not enough time to plan the long view, but boy howdy, there are fire drills aplenty. ...what happens when trying to do big things on shoestring and a dime ...and so on. I'm interested in knowing more of the context in which that statement was made... Is this part of a discusison about web apps and tools (read: web 2.0/web woo-woo/web whatever) provide better means of managing things so that non-profits can be better organized? i.e, statement was made as description of a problem for which solutions were beign discussed. If so, then I'm all for hearing what those solutions are!
