Technology, new generations of donors, changing social values are giving rise to new social enterprises and driving current ones to dramatically rethink how they engage and mobilize stakeholders, raise money and advance their social agendas.
Yet, while the world twists and turns around us, what often doesn’t change is how we respond to change. Even the most talented teams and organizations fall into the trap of solving a problem the same way every time. Especially if it’s worked in the past, and time is short.
What new mind, skill and tool sets can you cultivate to move forward while managing the crisis of the moment? How can you train your brain and enable your team to explore new ways to tackle long-standing challenges?
Through think sessions and ideation labs, you will explore how your world is changing and employ a variety of tools and techniques to spark new ways to attack your most pressing need whether it’s to develop new revenue sources, attract new donors, reconfigure your service delivery, or reach your stakeholders on the ground or online.
These sessions draw on work and interviews with more than 100 donors and 70 thought leaders from foundations, academia, NGOs and nonprofits across the country.
