Accelerating changes and increasing complexity (societal, economic, political and technological) is prompting greater interdependence and connectedness.
As we collectively process how A Beloved Community should best organize to become effective in bringing about positive, collaborative actions in Shasta County, it is useful to understand some of the latest trends in how non-profits are managing this change.
Shasta Family YMCA has done a good job in strategic planning, based on a model by La Piana Consulting. This non-profit consulting firm just uploaded a group of interesting videos around the theme of Doing Good in the 21st Century.
These short (5-6 minute) videos contain some jargon, as they were designed specifically for formal, non-profit organizations and philanthropies, but they also contain some nuggets to stretch our thinking. The video titles are: New Realities (the video above), Sector Blur, Diversity and Power, Generational Shift, Technology, Business Models, and Philanthropy’s Role.
How does this apply? What do you think?
