CUSSW Alumna in the News

|
In a May 10, 2003 New York Times article, CUSSW alumna Diana
Aviv was quoted as a dissenting voice
critical of a recent McKinsey & Company study that "rocked"
the nonprofit world. Under the guidance of former New
Jersey governor and unsuccessful-2000-Presidential candidate
Bill Bradley, the Institute for the Nonprofit Sector,
a division of the esteemed McKinsey consulting practice,
released findings in the Harvard Business Review estimating
nonprofits could free up $100 billion each year by simply
eradicating some inefficiencies. Aviv, president and chief
executive of the Independent Sector, a trade association representing some 700 nonprofit
|
organizations, shot back:
"Its headline of saying there is $100 billion in savings
to be achieved is unrealistic and unhelpful. When lawmakers
and donors see a headline like that it suggests charities
are inefficient, ineffective and extravagant, they will
use it to justify cutbacks in support for the sector.
Nonetheless, there are any number of suggestions in there
that we would be unwise not to examine, if only for partial
value."
