The current economic climate may be leaving nonprofit management leaders at a point where they find merging with another organization as a strategy for survival. However, consultant David La Piana offers a broader array of collaborative options, which he has coined strategic restructuring, as a way to strengthen effectiveness, spread best practices, and expand reach. Incorporating case studies as a practitioner and consultant, he reviews the motivations and inhibitions that come with these options. In tough economic times or not, nonprofit management leaders may find that they may benefit from strategic restructuring as a way to build sustainable, long-term relationships that further the impact of the cause. He spoke at the 2009 Nonprofit Management Institute, an event convened by the Stanford Social Innovation Review, a publication of the Center for Social Innovation.
