“How Great Companies Think Differently”

My resource article for this week is about program structure and execution. The Harvard Business Review talks about how organizations have moved from a stringent structural framework that operated and focused mainly on financial gains and success to a more societal and human centered style of operation. A nonprofits plan, program and operations should not focus too much on donors and neglect other stakeholders; a good example is what happened with Oprah in South Africa. It should structure its activities and programs to involve all stakeholders and give everyone the opportunity to make meaningful contribution towards the attainment of its mission.
