In an increasingly competitive environment, nonprofit leaders are required to build superior management skills and cutting-edge business knowledge to address critical issues with maximum efficiency.
Offered by Columbia Business School Executive Education, The Institute for Not-for-Profit Management Program is designed to address those needs. Over the last 30 years, nearly 1,000 successful alumni from the most respected nonprofit organizations have attended the Institute for Not-for-Profit Management Program, making it one of the premier programs in the U.S. for equipping senior nonprofit professionals with indispensable strategic management and leadership skills.
Overview
The Institute for Not-for-Profit Management Program is a unique and transformative experience, designed to help nonprofit leaders successfully develop their organizations' directions, policies and programs.
It is a highly interactive 20-day program (four non-consecutive weeks, each with specific objectives) for senior executives that explores the foundations of management, helping participants to sharpen their skills in strategic management, finance, fund development, marketing, and organizational behavior.
The program provides participants the opportunity to step back, see the big picture and develop an actionable plan. Through intensive exercises, faculty interaction and collaboration with diverse peers, participants learn to integrate theory and practice, giving them tools that are immediately applicable at their organizations.
According to Faculty Director Tom Ference, "Our Institute for Not-for-Profit Management Program participants come with a commitment to mission, professional competence and a desire to effect meaningful change in the lives of their clients and in society.
They leave the program with an enhanced ability to think strategically, to articulate their mission in terms of a motivating vision and to create a plan to achieve that vision. They also develop renewed confidence in the potential of each individual to shape a better future."
The Institute for Not-for-Profit Management Program is one of the Programs in Social Enterprise at Columbia Business School Executive Education.
