How to Adapt When Everything Around You is Changing: A Nonprofit Organization Survival Guide

I  AmANGRY

What  we  are  doing  isn’t  working  anymore!

Everything  must  change.

Technology  and  the  Internet,  and  their  role  in  our  lives,  has  changed  how  we  communicate,  get  and  share  information,  the  media  we  consume,  and  the  reasons  we  engage  with  each  other  -­‐  online  and  of9line.  The  effects  of  these  changes  are  being  felt  by  all  of  us,  every  day,  all  the  time.  

Information  moves  FASTER.  People  are  more  closely  CONNECTED.  We  all  have  DIFFERENT  OPTIONS  and  BETTER  CHOICES.    Our  EXPECTATIONS  ARE  HIGHER.    The  connections  we  make  to  the  issues  and  events  that  shape  our  world  are  being  TRANSFORMED  -­‐-­‐  rapidly  and  constantly.  

How  organizations  operate,  organize,  and  communicate  must  be  RE-­IMAGINED.    The  passion  and  interest  of  individuals  must  be  RE-­FOCUSED  and  RE-­DIRECTED.    The  ways  that  we  measure  success  must  be  RE-­ASSESSED.    The  ways  we  promote  big  ideas  and  create  better  solutions  must  be  RE-­ENVISIONED.
