What role can Strategic Planning and Risk Management play in your NFP?

We have been very fortunate as architects of the Central Coast NFP Forum to attract high calibre speakers to our region to share their knowledge and expertise. By year end we will welcome four Keynotes to the Central Coast.  We started the year in full swing and benefited from Ashley Fell, Social Researcher from McCrindle who addressed the topic of community and social trends for NFPs towards 2030.

Most recently we welcomed Adjunct Professor Martin Laverty, Chief Executive Officer of the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia. He serves as a member of the Deputy Prime Minister’s Aviation Industry Consultative Council, a Board Director of the National Disability Insurance Agency and is Deputy Chair of the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission (ACNC) Advisory Board.

He delivered a thought provoking and highly engaging session on Ethics and what does doing the right thing look like for NFPs. He touched on culture and what drives good/bad culture and also governance improvements that NFPs could be implementing.  This was all delivered with the awareness and insights gained post the Royal Commissions.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Our next Forum will address Strategic Planning and Risk Management.  Topics covered will include: the value of having a Strategic Plan, the importance of understanding risk in your organisation and implementation of these strategies into your organisation.
