If you take a minute to think about it, communication is at the root of so many of the world's problems. Over time, lack of communication and miscommunication has led to many a sore back from sleeping on the couch. It has made people miss appointments and has left them waiting awkwardly in the wrong restaurants. It has battered and broken up the most iron-clad of relationships and caused people to lose their jobs. It has created civil and social strife and it has even led to and exacerbated wars.

Well, communication issues are also a major challenge for a lot of not-for-profits.

"This is the environment in which associations now work. It is full of threat: that members in search of knowledge may find the association less relevant after they turn to another knowledge resource. And, it is full of opportunity: that members may discover renewed and increased value in an association that becomes an effective partner in the knowledge chase. Whether an association is a winner or victim depends on whether it is quick to understand and respond to the new environment. Clearly, an association must learn how to do more, better -- organize, manage and deliver the right stuff on time, at the right time."
