1. COURSE OVERVIEW

Non-profit organizations rely on leadership for success. As suggested in strategic management, the leader needs to bring all of his/her resources together to be successful. A significant part of an organization’s success depends on the strategic plan that is developed and implemented for the organization. This course highlights the importance of leadership for realizing an organization’s fullest potential. It also introduces strategic planning – a process by which staff and board members can bring their shared vision of success into being.

This course will focus on strategic and entrepreneurial approaches of nonprofit organizations.  Emphasis will be place on the tools, methods and approaches of social entrepreneurs and managers.  Case studies, self assessment instruments and application exercises will be used to examine, assess, evaluate and apply strategic planning, management and entrepreneurial concepts.

The course will equip students to develop an understanding of strategic planning and management, to know the ethical implications of the process, and to be able to apply the process by developing a strategic plan for an organization. A collaborative learning approach is stressed and students work in a group on a strategic plan project for a specific organization and participate in discussions regarding the strategic planning process

Strategic planning is important, but at the same time can be a complex issue especially for new and small organizations. Looking at the NGO sector, one may find that many NGOs do not have well drafted strategic plan and the few NGOs that have the plans are written in a very complex way. These are either too lengthy or too complicated to implement and are therefore not put into use.

Strategic plan in reality is a living document which directs the overall functioning of any organization. With this guide we provide all the details pertaining to strategic planning, so that you can develop a strategic plan for your organization
