In this constantly changing world charities, not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises face considerable challenges: the necessity to adjust to the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity in society and the world, the importance of finding new reliable partners and raising funds, managing work in an effective and sustainable way, plus the need to attract and retain volunteers. Economic, political and environmental issues affect each of us greatly, that is why it is so important to deliver an interconnected, systemic response to these challenges and to provide a framework for working with them.

This 18-month programme develops and professionally accredits social change managers to lead and facilitate deep transformation across systems, connecting individuals, teams, communities and organisations from different sectors in repurposing themselves to be fit for the future.

This is your greatest personal and your organisation’s opportunity to build the capacity of leaders, to re-imagine and prepare for a different stakeholder-driven and digitally enabled future. 

Benefits of joining the diploma:

  • Transform your own agency, inspiration and presence as a powerful influencer of change, through deep "vertical development"
  • Understand how to connect and work effectively across your whole ecosystem, becoming more aware of the bigger picture and how to navigate gridlocks and boundaries successfully, enabling successful empowerment and engagement
  • Learn practical tools for design thinking,"intra-preneurship", succession planning and developing future scenarios with better stakeholder engagement strategies

  • Learn how to design a systemic intervention in your organisation, or with your clients, and lead change
  • Qualify as a professional change coach, with internationally recognised qualification.

I am extremely happy with the instructors; it is very much a collegial approach, and they emphasise that they are constantly learning as we are. I would highly encourage people to consider this programme."

Who is this for?

Who leads change in an organisation is not just about job-title, it is about cultivating a mindset and skillset in a number of people and functions.  Today's change environment is context and stakeholder-driven, involving substantial connective work across functions to build thinking, competencies and redefine the internal landscape to be more responsive to our changing world. Opportunities for success lie in the relationships between people, teams, and functions within organisations, between organisations and industry sectors, as well as regions, tribes, communities, and even nations.

Therefore, we recommend this course for:

  • Charities trustees and non-executive directors, who define the general strategy for the organisation’s development and seek to create an evaluation plan to better understand and demonstrate the impact their organisation delivers
  • Leadership teams in social and charitable enterprises who need to shift to a more systemic way of thinking, engaging and strategising in order to increase their capability, confidence and impact when managing their teams, involving and retaining volunteers
  • Innovators and progressive operators - those who want to be better influencers and engagers of others in change
  • Project managers working across-functions with process transformation seeking to influence others – both within and outside your organisation
  • Fundraisers, PR and government relations managers aimed at providing a rationale for potential sponsors, investors, funders, developing strong social connections and building long-term partnerships with the private sector and public regulatory structures
  • Internal advisors on regulatory and HR/social related issues for both charitable organisations and social enterprises
  • Social entrepreneurs who are committed to ESG compliance and see it as an opportunity to improve their business and make a valuable social impact.
