I think the nonprofit 2.0 concept needs some working on because as I've pointed out before, the use of technology does affect the cultural practices of an organization. So which comes first? The technology for a nonprofit 2.0? Or the management practices and organizational mindset that could adopt and incorporate that technology? I would suggest the latter is the more appropriate trait we should look for in a nonprofit 2.0 and NOT the technology. And unfortunately, that is much harder to find in the nonprofit management field -- that is CERTAINLY not taught in any nonprofit management school that I know of. They're even farther behind then the current practitioners... sigh.
