The best organizations are constantly unlearning not just learning constantly. There a big difference between those who are always challenging themselves versus those who are already feeling that they have reached and arrived. A few comments I have heard through the years where external help is rejected on the basis of: If it's not invented here, it wont work. We are pretty good at what we do. We have another consultant that we 're still working on. We don't need another external person to know our problems. The current Board or Executive will not support this intervention. Our Request for Proposal is our vehicle for getting help. Our priorities right now are very different from the last Executive Director. We don't have a budget for this kind of exercise. All these are excuses and should not be seriously considered. The best organizations do recognize that 'if there's a will, there's a way.' Unlearning should happen before actual learning happens. Bringing a resource is a matter of strategy and an asset that can be deployed when needed, not when the organization is in a critical condition. Past success is never a predictor for future success.
