Business Outlook
Pros
The American Cancer Society is very devoted to their mission to relieve suffering and find a cure for cancer.
Cons
The Society is stuck in mid-century management techniques. They are slow to adapt to current strategies for managing a modern workforce, slow to exploit current technology to keep pace with a highly competitive non-profit sector and staff top management with people who have for the most part worked their entire careers at the Society and do not bring a modern approach to the organization. This is a very hierarchical culture where facilitative leadership is discouraged and teams do not own their work.
