Ruth McCambridge provides as satirical apology for being part of a movement called the Impact Revolution. Years of research for non-profit organizations has been led in a manner that provides misleading results.
With current changes in communication technology research should be provided which is more accurate than ever. McCambridge argues points written by Ken Burger about the way that non-profits access and use research. McCambridge points out that research has been misrepresented to show growth that is not actually happening.
One great obstacle to accuracy in reporting research is self appointed reformers. McCambridge uses that term loosely, as these reformers seem to apologize for failure then repeat the same methods under the guise of profound change. Positive results do not mean that the methods of obtaining them are any better. McCambridge concludes that new, well trained, and honest researchers are what is needed for correctly understanding non-profit research.
