If you read only one article about Cash Cows read this one
The blog explains how every organisation—charity, social enterprise, or business—must regularly review its activities using the Focus Finder© to identify what truly creates impact (superheroes), what generates income (cash cows), what quietly drains resources (thieves), and what supports impact without financial return (angels). Using buildings as an example, it shows how any resource can shift between quadrants over time, and why leaders must reassess their “cash cows” in today’s changing economic and environmental climate.
