Nonprofit Smart Growth Mini-Series: The Hallmarks of a Healthy “Mature” Organization

Throughout this series, I’ve been making the argument that the best way to grow your organization is not to focus on budget or staff or board size as the key metric, but instead, to notch down and focus on the stage of development — the specific characteristics and goals of each stage, and the clarity, capacity, and capital milestones that are aligned with where you are. 

In this final series episode, I’m going to paint the picture of an adult organization.  You'll learn: 

• The characteristics of a mature organization 
• How to leverage maturity in one area of your organization to strengthen other areas 
• What to watch out for (potential dangers) in the "adult" phase of an organization
