Business Schools Transform Nonprofit Leadership

Business Schools Transform Nonprofit Leadership: "Recently, it has become more common to see programs such as the IESE-Harvard Kennedy program being offered at the leading business schools. Custom programs for NGOs have been designed by many schools in the past; for example, Columbia Business School developed a one-week program for the King Khalid Foundation in Saudi Arabia, which in turn chose leaders from a variety of NGOs to attend the program. However, open programs are relatively newer and are now earning popularity; the IESE-Harvard Kennedy program, for example, was attended by more than 40 leaders from NGOs representing 25 countries, including the CEO of the Aga Khan Foundation, representatives from Kipred (a political think-tank from Kosovo) and the Qatar Foundation."
