In this complimentary 60-minute SSIR Live! program, participants will:

  • Explore the practical challenges inherent in effective change management
  • Understand better how organizational culture impacts transformation
  • Learn how complex and competing priorities in strategic planning and implementation are managed by executive leaders and their teams

Perhaps the greatest challenge to organizational leadership post-pandemic will be managing the change that the COVID era has accelerated. Technological innovation, social movements, and evolving public sentiments are outpacing the ability of organizations to absorb and understand the scope and meaning of these developments. How does the modern nonprofit prepare itself for the future while remaining focused on its mission and its vision for change?

In this complimentary SSIR Live! webinar, we will explore how successful leadership teams are tackling the moment at-hand while concurrently implementing the necessary changes to prepare for the future. The opportunities are great, but so are the risks.  This session will be an open discussion with organizational leaders about their strategies for success and where their biggest challenges lie – competing big-ticket priorities, battles over budgets, the need to fill in skill gaps, and continued pressure on staff to attain goals while also evolving their own professional and personal outlooks.
