NCVO Foresight training: for chief officers
6 July 2010 10:00 - 13:00
The Gateway Centre, Warrington
Voluntary Sector North West is pleased to announce a new partnership with NCVO’s Third Sector Foresight Team. We will be working together over the next few months to understand how the world is changing and how organisations in our region can use this knowledge to make better strategic decisions.
This training session is aimed specifically at chief officers and chairs of infrastructure and umbrella organisations. By the end of the workshop you will be able to:
• isolate the external trends and forces (drivers) that matter to your organisations
• find relevant information about your drivers
• develop and evaluate options for strategic action
• populate significant parts of your strategic plan.
For more information about Foresight and the issues it touches on, you can read this article, Facing the Future without Fear.
If you’re interested in finding out more, contact Anna Sevink on anna.sevink@vsnw.org.uk or 0161 276 9300. For more on NCVO Third Sector Foresight, visit www.3s4.org.uk.
The training is free but a refundable deposit of £20 will be requested on booking. For more information see the attached booking form. The training will be held at the Gateway Centre in Warrington (click here to download directions).
Voluntary Sector North West is working with Third Sector Foresight at NCVO who lead the change workstream. See www.improvingsupport.org.uk which brings together resources, evidence and good practice to help third sector support organisations. This training was originally developed by the Centre for Charity Effectiveness at Cass Business School.
