Our Mission: Helping nonprofits and funders create aspirational yet achievable strategies by learning how to respond to competition and the society around them.
About The Intelligent Nonprofit
We created The Intelligent Nonprofit to fill an unmet need within the nonprofit arena: To intensely examine and learn from the competition.
By learning from the competition, you can stand out from the competition. In recent years, social entrepreneurs and their nonprofits have worked mightily to improve impact for clients and stakeholders. This requires a great deal of soul searching, clarifying goals and creating useful metrics. For most nonprofits this usually consists of self-examination. Consequently, it becomes an internally focused exercise and ignores competitive activity in the outside world.
Nonprofits need to do more than conduct a field scan, a review of the social service landscape. They need to go a step further and be able to argue and stress-test their strategy against other nonprofits.
