Breakthrough Strategic Thinking
This program will draw on the latest ideas in strategy, innovation, and learning to take the concepts of strategic analysis and strategy formulation to a radically new level. In this program, participants will explore tools that help to not only make sense of how the environment is currently changing, but also to sense how customers, competitors, and other industry players are likely to shift in the future. Participants will develop the skills to anticipate disruptive innovations, chart out their likely trajectories, and determine how to maximally influence (or benefit from) those trajectories. Participants will also discover how to identify the assumptions that have become embedded in an organization, where those assumptions should be challenged and what kinds of transformation may be possible.

Innovation & Social Entrepreneurship: New Ideas for a New Reality
The program will begin by looking at the topic of innovation and creativity and how nonprofit leaders can begin to think differently about fulfilling the mission of their organizations. Next, participants will gain an understanding of social entrepreneurship and look at this topic along a continuum from philanthropy-dependent nonprofit organizations to pure social enterprises. Participants will learn about the legal structures, financing, measurement, and scale of social enterprises. The program will then shift to the topic of leadership in these types of organizations – what skills the leader must have, how to build a strong team, and how to motivate the team in this high risk and highly entrepreneurial environment. Finally, there will be a panel discussion featuring leaders from several highly successful Chicago-area social enterprises. Participants will be able to interact with the panel and connect the key learning objectives of the program with the experiences of the panelists. For more information, click here.
