Knowing Ourselves: Nonprofits as Integrated Wholes

The storyboard in the photo provides a perspective that might be useful as we think about nonprofit organizations. Selected attributes or characteristics appear in a quadrant format. The four quadrants in the table are each a different dimension or aspect of a nonprofit. This presentation uses the Community Foundation of the New River Valley as an example. The overview provides a way to talk about an organization as an integrated whole. The model derives from the work of Ken Wilber that I learned from the Generating Transformational Change in Human Systems (GTC) course taught by Pacific Integral, a Seattle-based consulting and systems development organization.
