In this highly interactive program, leaders and managers of nonprofit organizations can expand their perspective on the markets in which they operate and learn how to secure their organization’s long-term impact through enhanced competitive positioning.
Guided by expert faculty, you’ll construct a map of the competitive landscape to help identify the strategic risks associated with achieving your mission and the opportunities of working with and learning from your competitors. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what distinguishes your organization from others in the field, your competitive advantage, how the competition impacts your strategy, and the communication strategies needed for gaining the engagement and support required to enact change.
