See the crisis. Talk straight. Adapt. One book for each step.
None of the books are available yet. The Looming Crisis will be available for pre-order soon.
The Looming Crisis
For 40+ years, communities have outsourced charity to distant state and federal funding, which now makes up 60, 70, even 90% of local social service organizations' budgets. Legacy obligations like pensions, Social Security, and Medicare will force cuts. Those cuts will come either through deliberate budget reductions or through fiscal crisis. How vulnerable is your community, and how prepared are you?

The Looming Crisis Briefing
Straight Talk
Vague, indirect language undermines communities. No more "Midwest nice." Social service organizations avoid criticism for fear of losing funding, and business leaders avoid it for fear of seeming cold-hearted. Until a community confronts reality, it can't create a vision.
