About this program
The Program for Directors in the Public and Non-Profit Sectors consists of four multi-day master classes and addresses all of the societal challenges and issues facing public and non-profit organizations. In addition to the latest scientific information and conceptual models in the areas of strategy, innovation, leadership and governance, we provide a trusted environment in which you will deepen your vision through inspiring discussions with fellow participants and world-class lecturers. There is plenty of room for informal conversations about the information you have gained.
Master class: Public value and social entrepreneurship
We will investigate the development of the way in which public value was realized in the past and how it will be realized in the near future. Who decides what needs to happen, and what is the role of entrepreneurship in that? How do directors’ personal ambitions correlate with the public good?
Master class: Trends and dilemmas related to strategy and innovation
The environment in which public value is realized is constantly changing. We constantly need to look for new methods and collaborations. Which trends and dilemmas are at play, and how do you respond to them as a director?
Master class: Governance, development and perspective
Governance in the public and non-profit sectors has its own set of dynamics. This requires active relationships with stakeholders, but how do you organize that? And which structures encourage or inhibit those relationships?
Master class: Strategic leadership in complex organizations
As a director, you manage abstract and complex processes. What does this require of directors? And how do personal and moral incentives affect interaction with the environment and the organization?
