Networks and sustainability

Jun 15 2010, 9:14 AM EDT

Thanks Beth for posting this piece on "why working through networked approaches is a core strategy for sustainability". The example you give of the Boston Green and Healthy Building Network makes a strong case for what can be achieved by investing in and working through networks. I really liked your comment that "one organization cannot become sustainable alone; it requires that the larger “ecosystems” it works within to transform as well." As I think about the challenges facing nonprofit organizations, your example helps me recognize that it will take a transformation in the whole nonprofit eco-system to really make "social" work sustainable. We need to do much more from envisioning to creating standards to creating business models that pull the system in new directions.
