I have nourished a lifelong passion for helping organizations achieve a better connectedness with their support and funding sources.  As  a chief development officer for institutional advancement functions including fundraising, annual and major gift program,special events, communication and marketing I guide organizations large and small through  feasibility studies and capital campaign direction; develop/manage annual funding programs;major gift development; volunteer leadership; partnership development; board training and special events.   The ISPI™: Executive  Edition helps identify the right benchmark for corporate officers can trail blaze new roads that can lead the way to success and  overcome funding challenges that typically plauge many NGOs.

 The operational model for charities in this country is an ideal candidate for disruptive innovation. It strikes me as odd that charities, the organizations that really have the least to spend on marketing, spend such inordinate amounts of money and time on marketing to raise money. 

 What greater positive benefit could we have on society as business innovators than to help create a disruptive business model for charities? What if we could stand the traditional, and hugely inefficient, model of list rental, telemarketing, direct mail, and list saturation on its head and instead imagine something different? 

 ISPI™: Executive  Edition provides indepth descriptions of Innovation Archetypes that allow you to understand the Human Dynamics of Innovation.  These Archetypes allows you to start team building based on Innovation Strengths and help you get the right team  to manage disruption or be the disruption.
