Transforming Associations
Hello,
Here, I will be posting and commenting articles – mainly in English and in French – that I find interesting and useful in illustrating way associations are transforming themselves to become more relevant to the evolving expectations of their stakeholders and more effective and efficient in their action. I’ll look also for stories about how associations are refocusing their mission to address new challenges.
A key focus will be on stories that show how associations transitioned from a somewhat complacent culture to a new culture embracing change and innovation.
If you want to send me an article that you have come across that does this, please do so and I will publish it here. My email address is: jonathan.woods@eukalypton.com
