Purpose of the Case

1. To outline the steps involved in gathering, analyzing, diagnosing, and reporting on the functional health of an organization
2. To convey the importance of defining and solidifying organizational leadership before beginning the change process.

This case is an attempt to address the gap in the literature regarding documented work in developmental organizations. Many of the issues and concerns addressed in this case are not peculiar to non-profit organizations but are germane to business organizations too. However, in developmental organizations, members are driven towards serving the societal purpose passionately. The passion that provides the motivation could also blind people towards the importance of internal workings, such as structure or coordination mechanisms, in the long run.
