Business outlook
Pros
amazing people - smartest, hardest working and FUN; amazing impact for a relatively small org ($40m annual revenue)
Cons
Painful business model - dependent on lots of tiny grants and operationally dependent on implementers - means IPA has very little space to operate indpependently or take advantage of economies of scale. So hard to fix longstanding operational issues in HR, grants, etc
