The Seven Virtues of Effective EDOs Certainly, the typical EDO has some awareness of what it is doing and what it is accomplishing, but it typically focuses more on day-to-day activities rather than on long-term strategies. Even the results of this day-to-day activity are frequently not communicated effectively to the stakeholders and Board of the organization. Organizational plans, written for guiding the actions of the organization's staff, don't do much to educate local stakeholders. It is no surprise, then, that local leaders often have little trust or confidence in how development organizations are spending their time and money. The questions are: Are you doing the right things? Are you doing things right? Is your organization an effective EDO?
