A critical analysis of Value Levers

Hello my esteemed fans, my apologies for the break in transmission. It was due to other pressing issues and project assignments. Anyway, this week’s topic is centred on  a non-profit organizations (NPO). I'll be exploring the benefits and value Levers associated with implementing Enterprise 2.0.
The NPO we'll be using as our case study is Act for Kids.



Act for Kids



Act for Kids is an Australian charity working tirelessly to prevent and treat child abuse and neglect. It helps kids and young people who have suffered abuse and neglect overcome their experiences through long-term intensive therapy. They also help strengthen families at risk.


The social sector value levers as explained in the McKinsey Report  are: Crowdsourcing resources and solutions, , Fundraising, Education, Creating and expanding volunteer network, Mobilizing Resources, Retaining support, , and Engaging supporters. In addition, it also describes two (2) wide Enterprise levers namely, Improving collaboration and communication, and rapid organizing.













Fundarasing 
Fundraising is a great way for Act for Kids to create or generate revenue that will alleviate the pains and issues the non-profit organisation deals with. With the advent of enterprise system, the possibility of gaining more audience is achieved.  Not only does online solicitation cost far less than conventional means, it proves to me a more effective way to fundraise as suggested in the Mckinsey Report.

All that is required to set up an e-fundraising campaign is a credit card and a good fundraising service.
The benefits of Enterprise systems for business, especially non-profit cannot be overemphasised; it is a great tool in driving a good cause. it sees to the accomplishment of their mission which is alleviating the pain and suffering of kids and young adults.



Music for the day.

  1. An interesting post, if a little short. I don't doubt that Act for Kids could successfully fundraise via social media, but what forum are you specifically thinking of?
