SUMMARY:Theory of change: What it is\, and what people think it is
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nFunders\, consultants\, and other stakeholders often ask about an organization’s theory of change\, but there is much confusion over what this tool is and what it’s supposed to accomplish.

Attendees will leave the presentation with knowledge of how to design a complete theory of change and how to make sense of the confusion surrounding this concept. \nLearn more about our certificate programs! \nFacilitator:\nMaoz (Michael) Brown is head of research at the Wharton Social Impact Initiative\, a center at the Wharton School of Business focused on training and research on social enterprise\, impact investing\, and corporate social responsibility.

SUMMARY:Managing Uncertainty: The Healthy “Workplace” in the Seemingly Never-ending Covid Era
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nThis session focuses explicitly on workplace/organizational health. It flows from a set of basic assumptions. The most important is that organizational “health” is the biggest determinant of success and satisfaction and that the key components of a healthy organization are: high levels of trust\, a clear and well-communicated strategy\, honed focus on execution\, clarity as opposed to ambiguity\, solid communication and everyone “pulling in the same direction.” \nThere was an implicit assumption that a “return to the office” was more or less predictable. Dates for a return were set\, and plans made. Omicron\, along with the impacts of misinformation and certain behaviors\, have upended these expectations. \nThese sessions have focused on the choices that non-profit organizations would have in the “post-Covid” world. Depending on circumstances\, these choices fell into three “boxes”: \n\nUse the uncertainty and disruption to play a transformative role in their communities\, i.e.\, “Go Big;”\nAdapt to what appears to be the new “normal\,” e.g.\, changes in funding streams and the needs of the communities served;\nWait and see what happens over the months ahead.\n\nGoals of this Session: To provide non-profit leaders with a set of organizational tools for sustaining workplace cohesion and trust in a period of uncertainty. \nDiscussion Points and Themes for This Session: \n\n“Out of Practice”/Relearning: Addressing cumulative Effects of the Pandemic\nWhere do we want to be? Time targeted\, measurable\, achievable objectives\nUncertainty and its Impacts on the Workplace\nThe Leader Defines the Culture\, norms\, values\, and behaviors: making them explicit\nThe Fairness Theme/Avoiding “Relative Deprivation”\nClarity is Good/Ambiguity is Bad: How Can We Be Clear?\nCommunicating Change: Who\, How\, What\, When/Lead Times; What to avoid\nEmpathic Leadership/Empathic Followership: Avoiding “Let’s Shoot Down the Leader”\nThe importance of “self-care”: If you think\, “I am the exception” to the impacts of the past two years\, you are almost certainly wrong.\n\nCase Study: Return to the Office/In Person: Prior to the workshop\, a case study will be shared via email with all registrants. This case study will be used throughout the workshop\, and more importantly\, will be a core piece of the break-out sessions. To best participate in the session\, please allocate 30-minutes leading up to the workshop to review and consider the case study. \nTools and Takeaways \n\n Self-assessment (organizational) tool\nSelf-assessment (me) tool\nChecklists\nAction plans\n\nLearn more about our certificate programs! \nFacilitator:\n \nFrank Schneider was born and grew up in Milwaukee.
