For Organizations
“Social innovation is a mindset and a process that can be taught, learned and reinforced with practice… [Organizations should] ensure they are building their staff’s innovation capability by offering access to training.”This was a major conclusion of a research study conducted by Bond, Oxfam and the Social Innovation Exchange. We wholeheartedly agree! It is critical for organizations of every kind to invest in building the skills of their stakeholders (staff, clients, grantees, or beneficiaries).
To enable the ongoing professional development and lifelong learning of people within institutions, we offer programs and customized training for leading foundations, NGOs and corporations in a number of topics critical to personal professional development and consequently organizational success.
