Strategic Development Program for Not-for-Profit Organisations
The Strategic Development Program for Not-for-Profit Organisations (SDP-4-NFP) focuses on how organisations can configure their business models and shape corporate strategy to address the challenges of what is a dynamic and more uncertain environment. It applies theory and industry best practice to your organisational realities.
6 Modules
Overview
Designed by Winthrop Professor Tim Mazzarol and Gudrun Gilles, both recognised experts in the design, development and delivery of executive education programs, it is developed from well- researched foundation principles.
The SDP-4-NFP program was developed in response to a recognition that the management of a not-for-profit organisation is a highly challenging and demanding task environment. The unique nature of these enterprises requires a balancing of social and economic objectives.
Changes to government policy and community attitudes towards charitable activities have created a more turbulent and uncertain future of many NFP organisations.
The program responds to the changing regulatory and funding environment experienced by the NFP sector. The focus is on how NFP organisations can maintain their primary objectives whilst increasing their resilience and independence from public funding.
It's different from most other strategic management programs because it is tailored to the particular requirements of the NFP sector.
