The Future of Nonprofits

Innovate and Thrive in the Digital Age
by David J. Neff and Randal C. Moss

Broken into in three parts: Definitions and Strategies; The Three Pillars of Innovation; and, Implementation and Future Consideration, Neff and Moss’s work takes readers through the process of creating a nonprofit culture that encourages innovation.

Neff and Moss assert that the three methods for improving business efficiency (Lean Management, Six Sigma, and Total Quality Management) miss the mark for nonprofits because human services work is messier, requires time to think, create and innovate – and that engagement is our most important metric.
