In today's world, more and more not for profit organizations seem to have intractable problems in achieving their stated goals related to their mission and the future.  Organizations have found themselves lagging behind in their effort to fundraise, raise their profile, use social media effectively and plan for the future. It is hard in this climate of increased challenges, public scrutiny, competing charitable ventures to move forward. Internal management problems such as staff turnover, frequent public relations crises, and not enough planning for the future inhibit growth.

Such settings as small not for profits doing community service activities or large organizations such as hospitals,  drug treatment centers and educational organizations need to develop new and innovative management techniques to stand out. In this era where customer reviews and where appropriate management outcomes matter, both public and private organizations need new means of program evaluation.

The future will belong to organizations in the public, private, and philanthropic sectors that are able to look at themselves critically and make adjustments in management and direction. In this fast moving media centric world the  process of organizational evaluation starts with leadership and needs to be inclusive of all stakeholders in its organization's orbit. These introspective evaluations can be highly effective and these processes can be taught.
