Nonprofit Sector “Short on Innovation?” Bull! - NPQ – Nonprofit Quarterly - Promoting an active and engaged democracy.: Writing for the Wall Street Journal, Ben Rooney begins a piece on nonprofits using relatively new digital and social media tools made possible by the Internet with this intro: “If big data and other technologies are transforming enterprise, then what effect will they have on the not-for-profit sector? It is an area that is typically strong on good will but short on innovation.” Wow! Mr. Rooney, may we introduce you to the nonprofit sector?
This opening body slam on the sector would be fine if Rooney offered any evidence to support such a generalization, but he doesn’t.
