Thank you for stopping in!      This website is a work in progress, so if you come across something that doesn't seem to feel right, it is probably because it is not finished yet.

Joomla:  you may have noticed that this site is based on Joomla!, a well recommended Content Management System (CMS).  My own initial reaction has been mixed:  yes, the site is up and get's the job done,  But a foundation looking to transition into a new CMS system will need to have a ready resource that can roll up their sleeves to handle technical details,  Once it is up and running, the management of the site itself is not difficult, but I recommend finding a Joomla! guru to help jumpstart the process.

One other thing (and this may exist as an extension that I simply haven't come across yet), but the base system isn't really set up for an orderly process of review and approval for new content, and the need to have a "test" environment for major site revisions is not something handled gracefully,

  • CRM Leaderboard: Business Needs Determine “Best” Solution
    Choosing which provider has the best CRM solution is a technology decision, right? Wrong.  It is a business decision (informed by technology). Think of it more like choosing a car... Ask a young man to choose a car, and he will likely choose the fastest, beefiest, baddest set of wheels they can get their hands on. Ask a cheapskate, and you'll end up with a $500 car (that ends up costing
  • How to Get There? How about where to start?
    You ever see something that is so obvious that it is elusive?  Philanthropy has its very roots in community:  from the Greek phil - having a strong affinity or love for, and anthrop- human. But "Philanthropy" has come be about money, egos, status, power and elitism, about institutional empire building, relationship dependency,  con artists and sycophants.  Yes, there are exceptions, and even

  • From lean to lasting: Making operational improvements stick
    Lean has become an important performance-improvement program over the past 20 years, but many organizations overlook up to half of the potential savings.
    The “hard” operational approaches, such as just-in-time production, should be integrated with the “soft” improvements, things like developing leaders who can coach their teams to constantly improve efficiency.
    The experiences of companies that have mastered both the hard and soft approaches offer lessons for others.

  • Narrated chart pack: Value creation in health care
    The US health care industry has outperformed the S&P 500 for two decades, creating more than $700 billion in shareholder value creation since 1985. This strong overall growth, however, does not mean the industry’s performance has been uniform across companies and subsectors.

    In this narrated interactive chart pack, McKinsey expert Susan Nolen Foushee offers a snapshot of the ebb and flow of total returns to shareholders in various health care sectors over the past 20 years.

  • Using ‘power curves’ to assess industry dynamics
    Plotting the structure of industries across markets and geographies reveals a startling and increasing inequality in size and performance among even the largest companies.

    What emerges is a “power curve” pattern characterized by a short “head,” comprising a few companies with extremely large incomes, and quickly dropping off to a long “tail” of significantly smaller competitors.

    These power curves can be a useful diagnostic tool for understanding the structural dynamics of an industry and a company’s role and options in its evolution.
