Social Impact Organization Design Course (CLT)
Social Impact Organization Design is a unique practice of operationalizing strategy in nonprofits and other social impact organizations, including civil society. It involves the alignment of impact goals to organization structure, processes, governance, metrics, and talent.
11A Collaborative is teaming up with Leadership Charlotte for this hands-on, two-day, in-person course because together we believe that transforming Charlotte requires high-performing social impact organizations full of strong, engaged leaders.
