 WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Our program for leaders is aimed at CEOs and senior leaders of charitable not-for-profit organisations or social enterprises. The organisations they lead must, in the opinion of Harvard Club of Australia, generally fit one or more of the following criteria:

 

  1. They offer a charitable, community-public benefit or poverty relief purpose, as indicated by whether the NFP has Australian Tax Office TCC and/or DGR status, or “registered charity” status.

  2. They are a social enterprise or business (organisations using a business model to provide a social benefit) and which may not have TCC/DGR.

  3. They are an organisation with a community or public benefit purpose (generally evidenced by a “formal” governance structure, voluntary participation by members and independence from government).

 INDICATIVE CASES AND PROGRAM CONTENT 

The course has three focus areas:

 

Purpose and culture

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast,” they claim. Does this apply to not-for-profit organisations? When are purpose and culture merely beautiful words in the organisation’s annual report? When do they have the power to attract and retain talented staff and volunteers? We will look to purpose-led organisations to see how they create a deeper level of staff engagement.

 

Quality of management

Across the countries in the OECD, 60% of employees leave their current position due to “conflicts with their manager.” What is so difficult about managing people? What tools and techniques can we offer team leaders to do better? What are the trends in management that lend themselves to implementation in social enterprises and not-for-profit organisations?

 

Application to your organisation

While it is interesting to study other organisations and learn from them, ultimately, what matters is how we apply these lessons to our own organisations. The course offers an opportunity to do just that. We will go through a structured exercise that will highlight opportunities to improve your organisation’s standing in an increasingly competitive market for talent.
