Business Volunteers Unlimited presents:
Leading and Managing Organizational Changes Friday, July 17, 2009 8 a.m. – noon
Penton Media Building Conference Center (Main Lobby) 1300 East 9th Street Cleveland, OH 44114
Most nonprofit leaders today are faced with making organizational changes, whether it is to sharpen the focus on fulfilling the mission, or simply to survive the economic downturn. The relative success of the changes depends on a variety of factors. An understanding of how to navigate through the changes can contribute to a successful outcome. Nonprofit leaders need to know both how to lead a change effort, as well as how to manage through it. In this hands-on session, participants will learn the distinction between leading and managing an organization change initiative, and will apply the concepts to planning initiatives in their own organizations.
Each participant is encouraged to attend the session with a particular initiative in mind, and to attend with other leaders from the organization. Whether the anticipated changes will stem from pursuit of a new opportunity or from the need to make organizational improvements, the techniques discussed and applied during the session will help the participant create a plan for the change.
