Executing Strategy

Confidently navigate uncertainty with a dynamic action plan

The world around us is constantly changing, which presents both challenges and opportunities. Being flexible and able to constantly adapt is key to any organisation’s ability to reach its full potential.

In this program, your leadership team will create an actionable short-term plan for your organisation to adapt based on the changing world around you.

This program is for organisations located in Africa. If you are based in India, South Asia, or South-East Asia, please see our BNDP Asia program. If you are in any other geography, please explore our Leadership Accelerator program.

Program Benefits for Nonprofits and Social Enterprises

  • More nimble and resilient

At the end of the four-month period, leadership teams are expected to:

  • Get clear on your organisation's impact goals 
  • Agree on your organisation’s top priorities to help reach those goals
  • Develop an action plan to address areas of uncertainty
  • Tailor practical tools and processes to make hard choices more confidently
