Troubleshooting Life 176, June 24 - Nonprofit can do what government and business cannot

This is 1 out of 366 pages from my upcoming book "Troubleshooting Life."

1 page a day, 300 words or less, focused on education, entertainment, or enlightenment.

In today’s Daily Drucker, Maciariello and Drucker point out that neither the government, nor any business, can provide all the communities that every major city needs. 

One good business example is Microsoft, which today in 2021, announced Windows 11.

Think about all the governments, or businesses, or nonprofits, that use Windows daily.

Or imagine the cyber threats to a large number of manufacturers still using legacy Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, which get their updates from a Windows 7 PC. 

Microsoft must now release documentation, software, security updates, to get the world on 11. 

But it will come down to nonprofits like Per Scholas, or YouTubers, to actually deliver accessible training and know-how to help people get on, and good at, using Windows 11.

Organizations in 2023 and beyond are also still working on becoming more diverse. 

And diversity can be found in abundance in nonprofit organizations. 

This is the kind of diversity Drucker and Maciariello write about, and the diversity that communities desperately need—from churches to professional associations, to homeless shelters, to health clubs, to workforce development, to inner city arts and science programs.

Do you have any favorite nonprofit organizations? 

Aside from Per Scholas, another nonprofit I like is the Information Systems Security Association of Los Angeles, or ISSA-LA. 

ISSA-LA provides educational forums and peer interaction opportunities that enhance the knowledge, skill and professional growth of the Cybersecurity and IT Community. 

The Los Angeles Chapter is also the founding chapter of ISSA International, which has members and chapters all over the world, all of whom network to learn and share problems and solutions to secure the digital world.

How can your favorite nonprofits create new communities in US cities, or all over the world?

ACTION POINT: Nonprofit can do what government and business cannot
