Some lose their jobs. Other leave the country. Some die. You need to be mailing fundraising letters to people who have never supported your cause in order to replace the donors who fall away every year through no fault of yours.But to be successful at acquiring new donors, you need to ignore one set of numbers and fix your eyes on another.

Take out a sheet of paper and create 4 columns. Consider this activity as brainstorming, a work in progress, that will continually change not only as you work your way through it this time, but should get you thinking so that you will continually come back to the worksheet to make the answers better and better over the next few weeks. So, for your first pass, don’t worry about getti

A firm's organisational structure is the result of many things – history, strategy, value chain, product line, competition etc to name but a few.Flat hierarchies tend to foster creativity but why? What if an entity has a tall hierarchy – drastic transformation is often not an option. Imagine you are the CEO of a large multinational, what are you going to do, ask them to alter their organisational structure?Flat hierarchies work because of properties such as a) fast links to decision makers, b) fast feedback processes and c) greater intimacy with the problem.These can be implemented in tall hierarchies too - by implementing cross-linkages, direct links to decision makers and skunkworks.Other alternatives include asking senior management to sit in open plan offices, reducing the distance and physical barriers between groups, MBWA (
