ICF Team and Work Group Coaching Community of Practice hosts author David Ducheyne as he reviews the challenges leaders face today, based on his book “Sustainable Leadership: How to lead in a VUCA-world”.
To him, leadership is based on character and if the individual wants to be sustainable, he/she must remain true to themselves. But, often there is so much pressure coming from the context that character can have the tendency to erode. David will discuss how this happens and how we, as coaches, can prevent it. Additionally, he will share some frameworks that will help both emerging and established leaders reflect on their current and future leadership styles. These can be used as coaching tools to help clients find a context in which their character can be part of the solution for successful leadership.
A Guide to Nonprofit Strategic Planning Bloomerang
Imagine how history might have changed if Martin Luther King, Jr. had said, “I have a strategic plan”, instead of his famous words, “I have a dream”. What are your organization’s dreams for the future? On the practical side, are you worried about the future? What are the critical issues you face? Have you taken the time to think big and think real about where your organization will be in one year, three years, five years? Does your nonprofit have a shared vision and a roadmap for getting there?
Participants will learn key elements in a successful strategic planning process:
being inclusive and proactive in engaging stakeholders
building consensus and “ownership”
making data-driven decisions
ensuring measurability and accountability
being future-focused
You’ll also see how the process worked for one community college and how college stakeholders engage in reviewing, modifying, and updating the plan each year.

The presentation will discuss the Thinking Hats, Five Types of Thinking, and brush into the entire world of Business Analytics. The presentation focuses on how the skills of Strategic Analysis, Tactical Analysis, Predictive Analysis, Data mining work together for the complete business management cycle. To add to the thinking equation, the session will explore the power of Social Media sentiment and how the way people "feel" about things is an important factor in the business equation.

1. Participants will understand the relationship between planning, analysis, problem solving, decision making and thinking.
2. Students will be able to explain an "Adapting to Whats Happening Model" that includes Data Recording, Strategic Analysis, Tactical Analysis, Predictive Analysis, and Social Media Sentiment. And how it impacts the business.

LERNER Change Management: A Journey Planner 10-2013LERNER Consulting
Change Management is a journey. Understanding the root cause of change and building a comprehensive plan is essential. Keeping change alive and on track is more difficult than simply stating the goal. It may seem counterintuitive but change is not self-sustaining. A plan that is equal parts roadmap, process, technology and systems with well-developed communication themes is necessary. It needs to be nurtured with active support and management guidance. If that weren’t the case, incumbents would always be re-elected.

Baptist Heath Foundation of Greater Louisville had a business challenge –
Small development staff and a large health care provider, the question becomes how do we expand our work and make staff more efficient?
How do you create business processes to cultivate the correct relationships with the correct donors?
And then do you create an authentic stewardship of your best supporters?
The non-profit licensed tools to structure a process to identify is both their major donor and potential major/midlevel donors as they enter the hospital. Start stewardship early.
Potential supporters were moved into a Grateful Patient program – with initial results strong
. Again small organization but after a few weeks they had identified over 100 new major donor prospects through advanced analytics and business process.
The Foundation used tools to structure a process to identify who are their potential major donors and then potential major/midlevel donors as they come to the hospital.
For potential donors they were moved into a Grateful patient program with strong initial results. And identifying over 100 new major donor prospects through changes in business process and advanced analytics.
How do we learn what we don’t already know?
The earliest notion of the Black Swan event was not Nassim Taleb but Lincoln Steffens, the muckraker.
Operation Smile, awarded Non-Profit of the Year by the DMA in 2008, they wanted to evaluate how they compared to their peers. They had no idea.

Learning: Leverage knowledge and share experiences to understand what you do know and cannot know.
