Presenter: David Gilchrist

This Intensive introduces current and aspiring leaders from the Not-for-profit sector (both employees and volunteers) to ‘mission-centric’ management.  

Key Outcomes.  Participants will:

· discover the particular skills needed to work within a resource-scarce environment;

· find ways to keep the organisation’s mission a central priority despite managerial processes and decision-making frameworks that would otherwise render ‘mission’ a reduced priority; and

· gain practical tools and ideas relevant to meeting these challenges;

· depart the Intensive more capable of assisting their organisation to deliver effective management without losing focus upon their larger, core purposes.

Presenter: Professor David Gilchrist  BA, BBus, CPA, FAICD
