Who: Nonprofit leadership teams
Format: Online with structured team discussions and coaching support
Price per team: $15,000
Next session: AUGUST 2025; Enrollment opens on April 15
Program Benefits
Nonprofits who participate in the program have:
- More time to focus on the work that matters and fewer ineffective meetings
- More clarity, efficiency, and collaboration across the organization
- Greater impact for the beneficiaries and communities you care about most
In this program, your leadership team will create a custom team playbook that highlights:
- What you work on together: The set of topics and decisions on which your executive team should focus
- How and when you meet: The meeting strategy and practices that will enable productive and intentional meetings
- How you work together: The practical ways you will build and maintain a healthy team dynamic
Who Should Participate?
This program is designed for executive teams of three to six leaders.
Top reasons organizations participate:
- You need to clarify the role and purpose of your leadership team
- Your organization has new leadership (e.g., new CEO, other senior leaders), and you want to become a high-functioning team
- You want to make sure your leadership team is spending its time in the most effective ways possible
How It Works
Your team is in the driver’s seat and can choose the pace that is right for you. Expert Bridgespan coaches provide support for your team’s point person, or project lead, via email, weekly check-ins, and one-on-one coaching at critical points throughout the program. Your total time commitment through the process will be about 25 to 30 hours per person.
