Participant profile
This program is designed for team leaders of established not-for-profit organisations or social enterprises who are managers or lead teams of people.
Given there is some overlap in content across programs, it is recommended that leaders pick only one program to join (whichever best suits your current role). Past participants are welcome to attend Mission Delivery again this year, but please note that much of the content covered will be the same as that covered in previous years.
What you get as a participant
1
Two standalone days of virtual programs facilitated by experienced McKinsey faculty (it is not necessary to attend ‘Leading Self and Teams’ to attend ‘Leading Organisations and Systems’)
2
Take-home tools and resources relevant to each concept covered, that you can use with your teams and organisation
3
A network of other leaders in the not-for-profit world for leaders to connect with outside the program and opportunities to hear about research and events
