As a team participating in Strategy for Nonprofit Organizations (SNO), participants will learn new frameworks for thinking more strategically about their organisation, linking their strategy to their organisation and its mission, and identifying the key choices and actions necessary to execute both mission and strategy. www.gsb.stanford.edu/exed/sno/index.html
