Each year, the Center for Social Innovation (CSI) at Stanford
University selects nonprofit leaders from social and human services,
healthcare, community development, and education organizations to become
CSI Fellows. For two weeks on the Stanford University campus, these
individuals participate in the Executive Program for Nonprofit Leaders (EPNL),
a program designed to further the professional development of current and
future leaders in the nonprofit sector.
Drawing on the leading-edge research and course offerings of the Stanford
faculty, the program integrates conceptual knowledge with Fellows’ own
experience to generate powerful and practical insights about leadership and
management. The learning stems from a variety of activities including classes,
small group discussions, and individual study. Like the Stanford MBA Program,
EPNL evolves as the faculty’s most current thinking and research keeps
pace with the rapidly changing management environment.
Session topics include:
- Leadership, Mission
- Leading Strategic Change
- People as Strategy
- Working with Diversity for Organizational Effectiveness
- New Perspectives on Marketing in the Nonprofit Sector
- Operations Management
- Financial Management and Metrics for Success
- Negotiation Strategies and Tactics
Nonprofit Leaders participating in the program can expect to
leave with the following Takeaways
- Increased confidence in leadership ability and deepened appreciation of a general management perspective
- Richer understanding of how to integrate organizational mission with economic strategy
- Development of a strong network of relationships with a diverse array of other nonprofit leaders
- Extensive interaction and exchange of ideas with the world’s leading faculty
- Improved ability to evaluate the rigor and relevance of new management ideas and concepts
- A personal ‘plan of action’ for addressing key organizational and strategic challenges
The mission of the Center for Social Innovation (CSI) is to
foster innovative solutions to social problems by enhancing the leadership,
management and organizational capacity of individuals and institutions pursuing
social value creation. The center's core activities of research, teaching and
community engagement focus on social entrepreneurship, nonprofit leadership and
management, philanthropy, corporate social responsibility and public policy.
