Building Capacity Through Effective Strategy Formation — Beyond Strategic Planning

Sponsored by Managance Consulting

Presenters:  Michaela Hayes and Vance Yoshida, La Piana Associates, Inc.

Starting with an overview of our research and learning in the area of strategy formation, this session will engage participants in a discussion of their experiences in strategy formation for nonprofit organizations, and will elicit reactions to the research findings and tools/processes we’ve developed to date to help nonprofits form effective organizational strategies.  The session will focus on sharing tools and processes for forming organizational strategies, and gaining input from participants toward the objective of enhancing the knowledge and skills of all attending the session.

 

Building Your Consulting Practice for Positive Impact in the Community

Presenter:  Janine Vanderburg, JVA Consulting

Consultants play a critical role in the success of nonprofits, often working with nonprofits to maximize community connections in order to enhance impact.  Our critical vantage point allows us to see trends and recommend collaborations that may not have been apparent to someone working at the level of a single issue or single organization.  How does growing your firm and consistently providing the highest quality services help you produce greater community impact?  This session will help you link your clients’ goals with your goals as a growing firm to exponentially increase community impact.

 

The Masterful Trainer: Principles and Strategies for Delivering High Impact Training

Presenters:  Courtney Bourns and Bruce Truitt, Interaction Institute for Social Change

We approach training from the belief expressed by W.B. Yeats: “Learning is not the filling of a pail, it is about the igniting of a fire;” and we develop trainers who wish to approach capacity building in this way.  In this workshop, participants will explore three essential principles of the facilitative, interactive trainer. We will also experiment with three fundamental strategies for delivering high-engagement, high-impact training: sharing responsibility for success with participants; creating content, process, and results satisfaction; and using the learning pathway. Finally, we’ll explore tools for leading a discussion and telling stories as techniques for creating powerful learning experiences.
