The Shifting NGO Landscape

John Elkington · 18 August 2010 · Leave a Comment

Seem to have been quiet for a while, though have been doing a little on Twitter (@Volandia), Facebook and LinkedIn. Main reason has been that late last week, just as I was about to start a long-planned break this week, with Sam also away in Rio, a request came in from WWF International for a quick survey of where the NGO world seems to be headed. Quite a challenge, but have been consulting with a range of people around the world and getting some wonderful personal assessments of where things are–and where they may be headed. Should have an advanced draft ready late today to send to WWF this evening, with the final version due late Friday. More anon, I’m sure.

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with much of the older material still available.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on this site’s Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition, my blogs have appeared on many sites such as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and the Harvard Business Review.
