Fit for the Future

A Guidebook for Nonprofits to Thrive in a Changing World

We live in a world full of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). Constant unpredictable change is now the norm in every industry. There is a new definition of how we do life and business. The rules of the game seem to have changed, and many organisations are struggling to move forward faster. The nonprofit sector has a critical role to play in driving responses through humanitarian and development work to address emerging issues that governments and the private sector cannot solve.

Fit for the Future is a practical guide for nonprofits to thrive in our changing world, with case studies and exercises that challenge organisations to embrace new ways of doing business. Our strategies focus on change management, sustainable resource mobilisation, programme management, agile project management, diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility, and succession planning. Contact the lead author, Carolyne A.
