Charity Talk: Charity Turnarounds - changing ahead of the curve

Register

Charity Talks are one of our most popular offerings, with over 10,000 attendees since they were founded 23 years ago. The next series launches in October 2016 and runs until July 2017. The series are curated and chaired by Professor Ian Bruce CBE, President of the Centre for Charity Effectiveness, Cass Business School. They take place at Cass, 106 Bunhill Row, London, EC1Y 8TZ, starting at 6 for 6.30pm.

Each Talk consists of four parts:

Presentation – by a leading figure in the sector of a current key issue facing people in nonprofit organisations.

Response – from a top academic or consultant broadening out the topic to develop the issues and offering guidance for action.

Discussion – an opportunity for the audience to question, debate and share their ideas.

Buffet reception – a chance to meet and talk with the speakers and colleagues from other similar organisations.

Charity Turnarounds – changing ahead of the curve

Wed 19 July 2017 at 6 for 6.30pm

Julie Bentley, Chief Executive of Girlguiding

Caroline Copeman, Principal Consultant, Centre for Charity Effectiveness, Cass Business School, City, University of London

Charity turnarounds are usually attempted after things have gone too far, the organisation is in dire straits and the cure can be terminal. How do you judge when and how to persuade a charity that it must change before it realises it needs to, i.e. “ahead of the curve” to use a concept promoted by Charles Handy? Julie Bentley has led a change programme at Girlguiding and she will explain how, whilst Caroline Copeman will give more generalised advice on the do’s and don’ts of change programmes
