The 5 Most Important Questions (part 2 of a series)

by Tom Wilson Major Gifts Guru

How did the 5 questions come about?

Peter F. Drucker (1909-2005) was the world’s leading management expert and thought leader during his long career. He wrote more than 39 books in 20 languages and was honored for his long teaching career at Claremont Graduate School through the naming of the business school, the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management.

In the early 1990s Peter Drucker turned his intellect and insights to the nonprofit world writing Managing the Nonprofit Organization: Principles and Practices and developing The 5 Most Important Questions. To help nonprofits through the 5 Questions he created the Self Assessment Tool which is available at Jossey-Bass / Wiley. A new, third edition of the Tool will be coming in late 2009 or early 2010.

In this series of articles, we’ll look at each of the 5 questions to see how it can help your nonprofit organization, and more importantly, major gift fundraising.
