Strategic Management for Government and Non-Profit Entities

Program Overview

Government bodies and non-profit organisations pursue public value rather than profit, answer to multiple stakeholders and operate under legislative mandates and funding constraints. This programme adapts strategic management to those realities: clarifying mandate and mission, analysing stakeholders and the policy environment, defining outcomes using logic models and theories of change, and aligning strategy with national visions and government performance frameworks in the Gulf. It also covers resource strategy for donor-funded and endowment-based non-profits, collaborative delivery with other agencies, and measuring impact in ways that satisfy boards, regulators and the public.
