ABOUT INDEPENDENT LEARNING TASKS
The Independent learning tasks are peer-learning activities and while your Tutor will give weekly feedback, it will be general in its nature and not specific to individual students.
The idea of these tasks is to give students an opportunity to practice some elements of analysis or to delve more deeply into some aspect of theory that will help you develop a deeper understanding of the Unit content. It may also help you respond to your assignment tasks. The more you get involved with your peers, the better your collective and individual understanding is likely to be.
Part of your mark will be based on your own responses and your responses to other students. These Independent learning tasks represent an important part of Assessment 1. To access all the information on Assessment 1, go to your Unit Outline.

Shared Leadership: A Tool for Innovation, Engagement, and InclusionMax Freund
For years, nonprofit leaders have questioned the utility of traditional models of top-down staff leadership structures. But the growing body of research on alternatives – from co-directorship to distributed leadership to self-organizing teams – has been difficult to sort through. In this highly participatory session, participants will explore emerging models, the research on what works (and what doesn’t), and how capacity builders can help organizations adopt leadership structures that work. As the session exercises build upon the previous ones, participants are asked to attend the full session.
Session offered at the 2015 conference of the Alliance for Nonprofit Management by Mike Allison (Michael Allison Consulting), Sean Thomas-Breitfeld (Building Movement Project), and Max Freund (LF Leadership).

involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
