The Intellectual Capital (IC) report has become a fundamental tool in the disclosure of non-profit activities, since it is necessary to use a correct framework to represent IC. To achieve the aim of the paper the work is developed as follows: the existing literature on non-profit organizations (NPOs) and IC is examined and relevant aspects to be measured by IC indicators and disclosed by an IC report in the above context are brought into focus. Then extant frameworks for IC reporting are outlined in order to verify whether they fit the aspects qualified as relevant in NPOs and it is pointed out what they lack with reference to the NPOs context. The aim of the paper is to propose an original framework containing a new set of indicators. The proposed framework is tested in an Italian NPO. The result is to disclose new aspects of activity carried out by NPOs involving knowledge, skill and their relationship with the surrounding community

One of the most promising recent developments in the management field is the effort to measure, use, and develop what has been termed an organization's most valuable asset—intellectual capital. For public non-profit organizations, this effort has special potential for increased productivity. This is so for several reasons. These sectors are human capital intensive. Human capital is the primary source for organizational innovation and renewal. Finally, we are acquiring a better capacity through on-going brain research to tap this potential resource. This article defines what intellectual capital is, indicates the type more frequently required for productive decision making today, and describes a Brain Skill Management Program (BSM) that has successfully been field tested that can be used to measure, use, and develop an organization's intellectual capital. The article concludes with survey results demonstrating that a BSM Program can be used to enhance the learning capability of public and non-profit organizations.

The management of intellectual capital (IC) is considered as a highly promising approach for non-profit organizations (NPO). However, lack of in-depth understanding about the issue and practical tools to support management persists. IC research in the case of NPO’s is still rather generic and conceptual. This paper makes a contribution by describing the practices of IC management in this particular context. The paper describes one possible approach to recognize the key intangibles of non-profit organizations. This approach was applied in three case organizations in order to illustrate the significance of IC from the viewpoint of value creation in services. More generally, the paper illustrates first, the necessity to concretize the strategic perspectives of IC management and second, the need for measurement tools that enable the monitoring of IC.
