Conan O’Brien announced on his show that wanted to climb to the top of the LinkedIn Influencer list.   He has a long way to go.     For example, Bill Gates has 7 times as many followers on LinkedIn than Conan.   Why?  Bill Gates is a philanthropist and is part of the GivingTuesday Movement. Conan poked fun at me because I have more LinkedIn followers than him.

The Top 5 Lean Startup Resources for Social Good Organizations

November 18, 2013 by Beth Kanter

  Note from Beth: Two years ago while working on a capacity building project for NGOs funded by the Dept of State in the Middle East,  I found myself in Jordan and visiting colleague Rami Al Karmi's start up lab.   In his office, he had a stack of Lean Start Up books, authored by Eric Ries.  He told me he makes every start up in his lab read it.   When I got home, I picked up a copy and the ideas resonated with the concepts in the Networked Nonprofit.    I was delighted to discover Leah … [Read more...]
