La Piana's 10th Anniversary
On July 1, 1998 I launched the firm with two colleagues, a substantial five-year grant from the Irvine, Packard, and Hewlett foundations, and a vision. That vision was to contribute significantly to the growth and success of nonprofits through consulting, training, and research and development efforts that would bring new ideas into the sector's management practice. Our vision eventually evolved into the firm's mission statement: "to transform the way nonprofits are led and managed so that they have a more powerful impact on society." There are many consultants serving nonprofits, and certainly no shortage of workshops and training opportunities. What has come to define our firm, to set us apart in this crowded field, is our dedication to innovative research and development efforts that we then roll out through our own consulting practice, publications, and training for others. This month we celebrate the release of my latest book, The Nonprofit Strategy Revolution. This makes 11 books and monographs during La Piana Associates' first Ten Years—an accomplishment that makes us extremely proud. As this tenth anniversary year progresses you will see some changes at the firm (we are, once again, staffing up), and to our website (we're redesigning it), as well as opportunities for us to thank our clients for the past 10 years of their trust in us. Please look for future electronic updates as we continue to share developments at the firm and new approaches to our work. David La Piana P.S.
