iLEAP aims to promote and support the professional development of non-profit leaders and senior executives. Tapping on its unique translational and experiential approach, it is designed for participants from various sectors including the social and health services, community development, charities, education, the arts and environment.
Sessions are conducted in collaboration with carefully selected community partner agencies at their respective service delivery locations. They will share their accounts of non-profit leadership, governance and operational excellence.
Distinctive Features
Experiential Learning
Partnerships with community organizations to appreciate the benefits of best performance management practices and how other leaders address specific non-profit issues.
Translational Learning
Reflect. Re-look. Rethink. Participants will learn to translate new research findings, insights and experiences into practical advances in non-profit management through critical reflections with the help of various learning tools such as conversations with sector thought leaders, open space technology and case analyses.
Comparative Learning
Throughout the duration of the course, participants will be guided in comparing their own non-profit management approaches against various case studies and to translate possible gaps into concrete strategies and action plans.
Self-Learning
Participants will engage in self-learning prior to the start of each module. This will cover selected readings or analysis of specific cases (which will be sent out in advance), as well as resource materials about current non-profit management approaches and practices.
