The Future of Collaboration: Alliances & Unifications

 Registration is closed for this event

As leaders of nonprofit and charitable organizations we are responsible for constantly asking:

  • What are ways to continue to improve services for the people we serve?

  • How do we contribute to system improvements?

  • With the same resources how do we increase capacity?

Within the context of an increasingly challenging nonprofit and charitable sector, increasing regulations, competition for donated and funded dollars and constant transformational system change, thinking about formal alliances and unifying with other organizations should be discussed and considered among the leadership and board. Entering into discussions voluntarily may be more effective than forced amalgamations and this workshop will give you the tools to review and analyze potential alliances and unifications within your nonprofit and/or charitable organization.

In this workshop we will discuss:

  • The continuum of collaboration and the gains reached in each part of the continuum

  • Learnings from sectors that have done analysis in terms of sustainability

  • Readiness for these deep conversations

  • The difference between profit and non-profit unification processes

  • Benefits and pitfalls

 

Target Audience: Executive Directors, Board Members and/or Senior Management

 

Level: Intermediate-Advanced
