I decided several weeks ago, for a variety of reasons, to retire my independent consultant hat. Being an independent consultant was, for me, a way to feel like I was using my skills for the greater good. I’ve been doing this work for more than 10 years now, full time for about seven of those years. And, I think I did that.

For example, Dr. Cialdini’s book documents how, in one experiment, wine shoppers were much more likely to purchase a French wine when the store played French music—and more likely to purchase German vintages when German music was played. Fundraisers too should pay attention to the lead-up that takes place just prior to making an ask.

My theory of practice is different than my consulting philosophy. The client is quite knowledgeable about their organization, mission, and goals for a project, but often not knowledgeable about technology. I think, actually, all technology consultants, whether they do what I do, or hack code, should do this exercise.

I expect that this will enhance the appeal of LinkedIn for nonprofit executives, staff, and consultants for our own networking needs. It all sounds like LinkedIn wants to pull all of those people who have been migrating to Facebook back into their fold, with the idea that LinkedIn is serious about business. It’s an interesting strategy.
