Editorial Reviews

Product Description

A hot topic in the business world, reengineering is the radical redesign of an organization's processes, structure, and culture. The realities of the nonprofit world are not all that different from those of the corporate world. Shrinking budgets, changing societal needs, and scandals are forcing nonprofits to heed the call of reengineering. To stay alive, and competitive, nonprofits must re-examine their raisons d'tre, how they carry out their missions, their organizational structures, and their business processes. Those involved in strategic planning and reengineering a nonprofit range from paid staff to volunteer board members, all with varying degrees of hands-on involvement in the organization. Developed out of the author's extensive experience, this book is a guide to the major issues and concerns facing nonprofits who are considering or in the midst of reengineering. It examines the organizational structure of nonprofits (board members, executive staff, and volunteers), the business processes and activities (allocation of resources, strategies for growing the organization, and means of delivering services), and the corporate culture of nonprofits (what the organization is and should be doing, self-assessment, and continuous improvement). This book takes our Nonprofit Series trade titles to a more sophisticated level. Hopkins/Organization 2E, Greenfield/Fundamentals, and Smith, Bucklin/Management are more basic, introductory level books. This book is for more developed nonprofit organizations, but has trade potential because of the timeliness of its subject.
