The new generation of internet 2.0 tools provides opportunities and challenges for nonprofit organizations. The short story: if you don’t make effective use of these new communications tools you will be “out of business”. The first step is for organizations to understand that their strength lies within their networks of clients, supporters and fellow nonprofits. Is your board and staff prepared to move into the Nonprofit 2.0 world? Do you know what is possible? Do you have a “strategic” plan? Have you thought about how to re-organize your work flow? Who can you turn to for help? What next?
