Managing Programs

Stream Summary: 

Managing a program in the non-profit sector isn’t easy. A single person is often responsible for the entire organization.

How do you assess your program? How do you find and appropriately manage your staff? How do you manage risk? How can you be the best leader you can be?

Assessment, risk management, competency-based human resources and solutions-focused coaching are key to organizational success. Continued learning in these areas is vital as generational and demographic shifts change workplaces, and change how we manage those workplaces.

The workshops below offer useful tools for assessments, project management, leadership and human resources.
