Who should attend
Managing People examines organizational culture and
organization-wide systems that are essential to meeting your strategic goals. We recommend a team of
three or more people; large organizations should consider sending larger teams. To get the most
from this seminar, we recommend that your team include:
- Your top management and program executives
- Your senior-level administrative and program staff
Board members are welcome, but are not generally recommended for this seminar,
given its focus on internal organizational design. We recommend that board members
only attend if invited by staff leadership, and if they are currently involved
in internal decisions on organizational design.
What past participants have to say
"I thought Managing
People was a great experience. I brought three other management staff with
me, and we all got so excited about the alignment model that we have followed
up with a number of meetings to refine our model for use in our workplan next
year."
Kathleen Crowther

“Managing People stretched my thinking, exceeded my expectations, and
invigorated me to continually search for better solutions.”
