The history of an organization matters.
It's best to unearth that history and examine it.
What strengths does that history show, and what challenges are depicted in an organization's timeline?
To acknowledge the history of an organization, initiative, or individual can shed important light on future decisions and development.
The history should not serve to mire the future movement or an organization, but instead it should free an organization to move forward in ways that are strong and successful.
