Growing Pains: Managing Organizational Change
Despite the economic downturn that began in 2008, many nonprofits across the country continue to expand programs, secure additional funding and hire for new positions. Indeed, during these difficult times, most socially-focused organizations note that the need for their services has never been greater and that they have a responsibility to do whatever it takes to meet those demands.
As organizations expand, however, they must also adapt carefully in order to remain stable and sustainable ventures. Throughout a period of significant growth, every aspect of an organization is tested and strained, but perhaps none more so than its organizational culture
