Because we’re sweating all the easy stuff, so we’ll never get to the harder stuff like values, empathy, vision. Its hard enough when I work with kids to make sure they’re properly fed at home.
Hi Albert, I thought the Nonprofit Roundtable of Greater Washington website well-designed and effective. Your PDF presentation on ROI had very powerful and convincing examples.
You are right. Everything can’t be reduced to numbers. There is another dimension to who we are as people and society. The utalitarian vs. humanist argument reminds me of the sparring between Mo Zu and Confucius’ followers. There are a lot of colorful example in that debate you can use to drive the point across today.
I think the pendulum has swung too far to the bottom-line. Using numbers and equivalencies works (Your PDF shows that). I would be interested in seeing good examples
