Merger Failures, Value Destruction and Cultural Conflicts - and How to Avoid Them!

For most non-profit boards, governance remains simply a series of routines such as overseeing budgets, receiving audits, hearing reports, approving strategic plans, and so on. This is the traditional thinking that guides most non-profit boards. If boards are to be successful this approach must change. The board is where corporate policy is made, where project priorities and goals are set, where capital (yes, nonprofits have capital) is allocated and where the values of the organization and the community it serves are exemplified.
