[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I regularly (daily) work with start-ups, both for profits and nonprofits. I serve as a business advisor, director, investor, etc, depending on the situation. There is not a start-up that I know that has not made a mistake or two. Every CEO that I know will tell you that he or she, in fact, learns more from mistakes than successes. Read any business book by a business executive, and they will tell you the same thing. Komen has been a great success, though the PP decision was idiotic. But, as noted above, the mistake here did not cause death or property damage, did not involve a criminal act or a civil violation (even a minor violation). Komen made a stupid business decision and then quickly reversed it.

SKF is not a startup. SKF, like it or not, was seen as a woman's right organization. Now SKF is seen as a anti-woman's right group. People are going to support the foundation based on pro choice or pro life. I don't know in what capacity you advise and evaluate CEOs on a daily bases, but " cause death or property damage, did not involve a criminal act or a civil violation (even a minor violation)" is not the standard that most(in your case, the CEOs are held to that standard) CEO are held to. PS I am sure the board likes being hung out to dry.[/quote]

SKF made a stupid decision, which it then reversed.  And the person who appears to have been involved in the stupid decision resigned, not doubt under pressure.  But you view SKF as an anti-woman's rights group, because of what?   SKF has raised substantial sums for breast cancer research, awarenes, treatment, etc.  Does SKF have to get involved in the abortion debate to be a women's rights group.  Moreover, many women are pro life, my not being one of them.   I certainly am pro choice, but I am not so narrow in what I consider to be womens' rights.  [b]The power of the SKF network is amazing and should not be overlooked[/b]. [/quote]

Done now. Fractured. Over. The trust is forever compromised.

Time to move on.
