In a time of shifting demands for services, changing operating environments, and recurring financial pressures, the skills of nonprofit leaders are put to the test. SPNM, a joint program with the Social Enterprise Initiative, provides executives with the opportunity to examine their missions and develop new strategies.

What You Can Expect
This executive education program guides nonprofit leaders as they explore proactive methods for mastering nonprofit leadership. HBS faculty and colleagues challenge participants to strengthen their ability to improve the effectiveness of their organizations.

Your Course of Study
By analyzing the strategic performance of more than 100 nonprofits, participants gain an invaluable understanding of core concepts crucial to nonprofit leadership. This insight helps leaders develop customized strategies and create dynamic implementation plans.

Who Is Right for the Program
Designed for executives responsible for organization direction, mission focus, policies, and major programs, SPNM is suitable for leaders of public-serving nonprofits. It is not targeted at industry/trade associations, management support organizations, or consulting firms.

Social Enterprise Initiative
By integrating social enterprise-related research, teaching, and activities into the daily life at HBS, the Social Enterprise Initiative plays a critical role in supporting the School's mission to educate leaders who make a difference in the world.
