Can You Smell the Change?

Smell the coffee

Do you need to be more awake to potential changes to be addressed? On a prosaic level, the complaints I hear from many CEOs at the moment about "the cutbacks in state/donor support" seem oddly dated. The current chill is simply doing something that was predicted even in the days following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. But many charities seem ill-prepared for the entirely predictable new order. How about you? Do you need to be more alive and awake to the changing environment you have to operate in?
