The Demise of Cost and Profit Centers
Author:
Robert S.
Kaplan
Abstract:
The Balanced Scorecard offers a previously unrecognized benefit: a new
way of looking at the traditional organizational structure of cost and
profit centers. Every unit, by contributing to effective strategy
execution, has the opportunity to support and create profit. This
capability has important implications for specifying objectives and
evaluating the performance of all organizational units.

| What If? The Art of Scenario Thinking for
Nonprofits Authors:
Dianna
Scearce & Katherine Fulton
Abstract:
Scenario thinking is a tool for motivating people to challenge the
status quo, or get better at doing so, by asking "What if?" Asking "What
if?" in a disciplined way allows you to rehearse the possibilities of
tomorrow, and then to take action today empowered by those provocations
and insights. What if we are about to experience a revolutionary change
that will bring new challenges for nonprofits? Or enter a risk-averse
world of few gains, yet few losses? What if we experience a renaissance
of social innovation? And, importantly, what if the future brings new
and unforeseen opportunities or challenges for your organization? Will
you be ready to act?
