Is you nonprofit ready to be disrupted?

Are we ready? Are we ready for someone else to disrupt us? Can we disrupt ourselves?

These are essential questions for all nonprofits today. The ability to disrupt our business is a reality to be considered. Do it ourselves or have someone do it to us seems to be the issue to think about.

Maybe we need to consider that we are not the only ones who can deliver our mission. In this day and age, others can, perhaps cheaper and better. It is something to think about. 
One of them -- who self-identified as a Gen Yer who had recently received $15 million in funding for his startup -- explained to me that the cost of disrupting has fallen so low that he doesn't even think people like him need to go for the big funding anymore (not that he refused it when it came!). He said, "Especially in software, it only takes $30,000 to build anything in software today."
