Presenter: Professor David Gilchrist

The purpose of this Intensive is to assist the not-for-profit sector to deliver its core objectives.  Governance, financial and accountability requirements should support rather than overwhelm or kidnap core objectives.  This will require a mission-centric view of strategic planning and management.  Participants will take away models relevant to strategic planning, resource allocation and governance control.  These models are focused on mission outcomes, and relevant to most not-for-profits and charities.  This approach is contrasted with commerce-centric models traditionally used in planning and management.  The Intensive mixes presentations, group exercises and discussions.  Participants will share their experience and knowledge, and have opportunities to network.  Rather than pre-reading, participants are urged to consider their organisation as a planning organisation: how are resources allocated and controlled, and how are outcomes reported upon?

Professor David Gilchrist is Adjunct Professor of Not-for-Profit Leadership and Management in the School of Business, University of Notre Dame Australia, and Assistant Auditor General for Western Australia.  He Chairs  the Disability Services Commission’s First Stop Oversight Committee and is a Council Member of the Anglican Schools Commission.  David has been President of WACOSS, Vice-President of Relationships Australia (WA) and Vice-President of Council on the Ageing(WA).  David has held CEO and CFO positions in the commercial, government and not-for-profit sectors, and has taught accounting and finance at the London School of Economics and at Portsmouth, Curtin and Edith Cowan Universities.
