Strategic Management for Public and Non-Profit Sector

This master class starts with an online kickoff, 3 weeks before you arrive on campus. This 2-hour session lets you break free from any traditional notions you may have around creating strategies. After this, you prepare a specific problem from you own organization, to bring to the master class. The program comprises four modules: strategic process design, institutional embedding, thinking and working in future scenarios, and strategic HRM. Your individual problem is the common thread running through these 3 days.

Day 1

The first day is all about building a strategic process. We provide you with a complete tool set to develop real-world strategies.

Day 2

We look at the preconditions for developing your strategy. You also learn how to deal with social institutions. And you get to work on your own future scenarios.

Day 3

On day 3, we zoom in on talent management as part of strategic HRM. Plus, you work on your own strategic problem, so you can go home with answers.

Time investment and result

The Strategic Management for Public and Non-Profit Sector Master Class takes place over 3 consecutive days. The program is designed to limit the amount of preparation time. Participants should plan for a total of 6 hours of preparation time, including the online kickoff.

Upon completion of this master class, you will receive an Strategic Management certificate from TIAS.

PE-points

For some modules, you can request registration of PE points. The PE point system is currently undergoing some changes. For further information, please feel free to contact our Program Adviser.

A Word from our Academic Director

“Why do you exist as a non-profit organization? What value do you add for society? I notice that before the master class, many participants have difficulty answering these questions. During the kickoff, I try to show them that you must distinguish yourself. The objective of a school, for instance, must go beyond just having their students leave with a diploma. The school needs to look at what it wants to achieve for students. It’s great to see participants on an all-new strategic footing after the kickoff, so they start the master class off at a higher level and get right to work on their own strategic problem.”
