This week I read about a nonprofit accused of losing sight of its mission and those it serves. The story reminded me of another nonprofit I read about months ago in similar straits. These stories provide lessons to those of us who work in or with nonprofits. My mom is a breast cancer survivor so the cause is close to my heart.

Here’s a developing story for association and non-profit professionals to follow. I was led to it by Laurie Ruettimann’s The Cynical Girl blog. Laurie is an HR rock star, a Triangle local and a smart-ass, so she’s a source I respect. She alluded to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) threatening to sue the TLNT website , “an HR blog about The Business of HR.”.

Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty. To stay ahead, finance leaders must leverage a future-forward approach—one that leverages real-time data, predictive analytics, and continuous planning to drive smarter financial decisions.
