Nicholas Carr, who writes the blog Rough Type, is a smart dude. Although he writes about the technology field as a whole, and seems very tapped into the for-profit world, he has lots of words of wisdom I think we can learn from. He has a recent article in "Director Magazine" which is a UK-based business magazine (no, I don't read it, I just got the link from his blog,) entitled 10 tips for reducing burgeoning IT costs. Most of the 10 are applicable to nonprofit organizations (I'd skip the "Offshore work" tip.) The one I love the best: Procrastinate. We all don't need to be on the bleeding edge to get stuff done.
