Getting Out of the Straitjacket

I am thinking more and more that non-profits, charities, city governments, schools, etc really need to start thinking about revamping their missions, goals, and ways of doing things.

I feel like the school system is failing not only it's students more and more but it's teachers as well. And non-profits are holding on my the skin of their teeth right now. Of course the economony doesn't help, but this would be a great time for those organizations to take a look at what they're doing and really see if it has been working, or at least working to the best of thier abilities.

The country has changed. The world has changed. The people these organizations cater to have changed. And yet the organizations don't seem to be moving quite as quickly.

I know we all like our comfort zones, and change is scarey, but my head is exploding with ideas about how so many problems could be improved with just some tweaking.
