I found it helpful in getting organizations to think outside the box about their value & effectiveness. Being efficient is as important these days as being innovative. Another great read for smaller nonprofits: The E Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber. I’m a big fan of the book Blue Ocean Strategy.
