Transforming Nonprofit Strategy: Fostering a Culture of Strategic Thinking.
Many nonprofits spend an inordinate amount of time developing a strategic plan that sits on a shelf and never gets implemented. In this course, you will learn why these plans don't get implemented and why you need to focus more on strategic thinking instead of strategic planning.
You will learn how to encourage your board and your staff to think strategically and work together as a team of strategic thinkers.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
