New Blog = new thoughts?

OK, so I have heard all the hype on blogs and have heard "if you write it they will come." But who is they?

I work at a large, well established nonprofit with a long history. My role is one of working with orgs across the country to assist in better understanding and use of business systems and technology as a whole. As a movement we are facing a time of change, challenge and opportunity. We are facing tax challenges, identity crisis along with overwhelming success and growth.

The challenge I see is that in many ways, we are stuck on what we have always done. I dont see us reaching to keep up with what the people we serve need and expect. In a way we are outdating ourselves daily. Part of the challenge of having a very successful history is getting over yourself and continuing to change.

But many of the leaders in our organization have been around for years and are very successful. In fact they are much smarter, experienced and more talented than me. But with all of that there is still missed opportunity. As a technology consultant for this organization I do not claim to know more than others, rather I see things differently, recognize new opportunities, approach challenges uniquely.

I hope to use this blog to spill my thoughts, maybe some day someone will even read it.

Hi Deborah,

Thanks for noticing my random, anonymous blog, plus mentioning it in ISF, which I subscribe to. I guess it is true, if you write it they will come.

Maybe someday I will reveal my secret identity. But some of my thoughts may not be appreciated at my work yet.
