Stability with unclear purpose

This archetype likely has a high degree of financial independence through investment returns. The cost is isolation from external stakeholders which may result in fewer relationships that create pressure to remain relevant, responsive, or connected to changing beneficiary needs. The strategic consequence may be stability with unclear purpose. It is likely that these organisations can support long-term work with a patience and consistency that no other income mix can easily provide, but the relative absence of external feedback loops means the organisation may need to generate its own purpose discipline or risk becoming a well-resourced institution that has outlasted the urgency that created it.
