Entrepreneur March 2008 identified 25 People, Trends and Events entrepreneurs can't afford to ignore.
As a nonprofit strategic planning consultant, I can't help but think there's some lessons in this list for nonprofit boards, execs and managers. Here's the list:
Steve Jobs, 2008 elections, climate change, China, declining dollar (think fundraising), oil dependence, trust (in corporate products, companies and nonprofits too), mortgage crisis (think neighborhood housing), Oprah Winfrey (likes nonprofits), Bill Gates (also likes nonprofits and runs or will run a really big foundation), immigration issues, a generational shift (lots of trends here), emerging economies, Bill Drayton (Ashoka), Ben Bernanke, software as a service, shrinking middle class, auction of TV airwaves, Mark Cuban and IPTV (personalized TV -- an opportunity for nonprofits), health care, Google, Nydia Velazquez, Social Media, Socially Responsible Companies, Mobile Media.
Note how many of these are nonprofit related .......
