Interactive Video CD-ROMs

In 2004, Stanford Graduate School of Business released a powerful new tool to help nonprofit leaders understand and apply strategic management frameworks to the challenges they face each day. Each CD contains:

  • Videos of classroom presentations
  • Synchronized slides to accompany lectures
  • Frequently asked questions with faculty responses
  • Case studies on related topics
  • A self-paced workbook

Each participant or team will receive a complimentary three-CD set.

Stanford Social Innovation Review

Participation comes with a one-year subscription to the critically acclaimed Stanford Social Innovation Review. This quarterly journal presents the best ideas in nonprofit management, philanthropy and corporate citizenship and shares substantive insights and practical experiences that will help those who do the important work of improving society do it even better.

Program dates, fees, and faculty are subject to change. If a program is cancelled, Stanford will refund the program tuition in full but is not responsible for travel, accommodations or other expenses incurred by the participant.
