Here is a great blog by our friends at Blue Avocado. It is a thoughtful look at what types of nonprofits should scale - the headline "Only Bad Restaurants Go To Scale" caught my eye: http://blueavocado.org/content/only-bad-restaurants-go-scale
It ties in nicely with a blog from my past, Small is Beautiful, http://youreasyoffice.com/_blog/Easy_Office_Blog/post/Small_is_Beautiful/, that talks about "going to scale" via shared services and outsourcing. Many of the challenges of size can be solved - not just through warm and fuzzy collaboration - but through established shared service and outsourcing relationships.
When we as a nonprofit sector focus on doing what we do best, all of our clients & causes are better off.
