You're good but could you be Great?
The =mc Strategy Thought Leadership Seminar
The future is uncertain: how do you set direction, engage staff and volunteers, and stay flexible?
Join Bernard Ross, Director of =mc, and senior colleagues at a challenging and engaging half-day seminar to explore the latest thinking in strategy and how it affects results in not-for-profit organisations.
Bernard will lead a plenary session and a workshop at the seminar – sharing his recent experience of creating strategy with a number of UK and international organisations – from Amnesty International to the Red Cross.

*Dates for 2012 coming soon!*
In the face of rapid change, strategy is difficult. Conventional models assume you can predict your environment and know what your competitors, supporters, donors and partners are going to do. The reality is that you often can't be as certain as that.
You need a flexible, nimble strategy to enable you to constantly adapt for success – and you need to inspire people to make the journey with you.
Join us and other thought leaders on this intensive half-day seminar to explore the models, approaches and proven methods that can help shape, drive, inspire and direct strategic destiny.
