Workshops

 

The Institute for Social Entrepreneurs currently offers three two-day workshops designed for both Board members and senior managers plus one five-day workshop designed exclusively for senior executives, all taught by Jerr Boschee. The length, structure and content of the workshops can all be adjusted to fit specific needs.

"Jerr has a unique ability to take an organization to its roots to help it re-examine its philosophical base

-- the first step in any paradigm shift. He helps organizations challenge their underlying beliefs

and brings them into current reality to begin the rebuilding process. His speaking style

is very relaxed, but he builds excitement by painting a new reality.

His presentations are a unique blend: He is very organized and purposeful,

but allows room for the mind to explore the little eddies that flow from his main stream."

John DuRand
President, Americas-Group of Workability International

(formerly The Affirmative Business Alliance of North America)

The two-day workshops are designed for both Board members and senior managers.  Please click on the links below for information about the purpose, participants, outcomes and agenda for each of them.

The two-day workshops include:

• "Entrepreneurial solutions for nonprofits" (an overview of the basic principles and critical success factors associated with social entrepreneurship, plus an introduction to entrepreneurial strategic planning, positioning and marketing strategies, strategic partnerships, business development strategies and financing strategies)
  
  
• "Positioning and marketing strategies for entrepreneurial nonprofits" (an overview of basic marketing principles, including the differences between strategic and tactical marketing, plus an introduction to positioning strategies, strategic partnerships, pricing strategies and marketing communications)
  
  
• "Business development strategies for entrepreneurial nonprofits" (an introduction to the business development process, including preliminary planning, brainstorming, initial screening, feasibility studies, business planning, and financing strategies)

The five-day workshop is limited to 30 individuals, and each person must be the senior executive for his or her organization.  Please click here for additional information about the five-day workshop, including a detailed agenda.

The goals of the five-day workshop are:

• To acquaint participants with the most current thinking about social entrepreneurship, to fan their entrepreneurial spirit,
  and to give them hands-on experience with leading edge business skills
  
  
• To help them take their organizations through a process of organizational change that creates an ongoing entrepreneurial environment
  
  
• To teach them the principles of entrepreneurial strategic planning and instill the confidence and competence
  they need to use the process effectively
  
  
• To teach them the basic principles of marketing and equip them with the positioning and marketing tools
  they need to sway customer preferences and build a unique competitive advantage
  
  
• And to give them practical experience with business development strategies and presentations to potential investors
