Blueprint is certainly one of the tools that makes sense to use in this endeavor. If you're asking for a generic process framework for how to approach process improvement, I think what we've proposed above is a start, but Lance might have ideas about how to tailor it to NGOs, especially after having a dialog about what might make NGOs different from other types of organizations. In the US we've applied these techniques to for-profit and not-for-profit organizations to good effect. If you're really more interested in some process templates, if you will, then I think that is where a Blueprint product can really help, as you say, with distance and collaboration. And it is at a high enough level that you can abstract away some of the implementation details that may be quite different... Dafna-

But I tend to believe that NGOs would enjoy a generic process framework. Another interesting point is basing it on Lombardi Blueprint. Among others, It would support the distance... Hi Scott,

For example, is your question based on the idea that NGO's might be less profit/cost driven? or based on some other criteria? The starting point is to better understand what the goals of the NGO's might be, as compared to for-profit-corporations, and how that might affect the process. Depending on the goals of the organization, I think the framework we've begun publishing here is quite relevant to process improvement for those organizations... Hi -
