Taking on a New Challenge

Categories:

I don't know if you are facing a problem similar to the one I am attempting to confront. For many months, the central problem I have been attempting to address is that the organization I work for is underdeveloped. When I started at CUWiN, there was no Board of Directors, no real decision-making process, and no structures for accountability. We didn't even have an accurate accounting of our own books.

Hey Ross,

Kevin Palmer, the current VISTA at HOME Inc and future VISTA Leader at UMB, had done a lot of research this year on organizational development and strategic planning.

We had a great consultant last year, Jillaine Smith, who does TANP stuff but also does a lot of organizational development stuff as well. Her blog is http://jillaine.blogspot.com/ but I'm sure if you emailed her, she'd send you lots of info.

I also know that Lauren B. at Media Bridges in OH is asking similar questions about strategic planning.

And maybe you could put what info you gather on the CTC VISTA Wiki?

I also found this org in my travels: Interaction Institute for Social Change - looks like a good list of resources.
