Investing in Future Leaders

Transform how your organization develops its emerging leaders

Investing in your organization’s leaders is critical, yet Bridgespan’s research has found that nonprofits typically struggle to develop a strong leadership pipeline. 

Through our Investing in Future Leaders module, you can transform how your organisation develops its emerging leaders.

In this program, Bridgespan will support your leadership team in developing a customized approach to talent development that will help develop your organization’s next generation of leaders.

This program is for organisations based in India, South Asia, South-East Asia, and Africa. If you are based elsewhere, please explore our Leadership Accelerator program.

 

Program Benefits for Nonprofits and Social Enterprises

A steady pipeline of effective leaders prepared to step up can lead to:
  • Greater retention of high performers
  • A stronger, more inclusive, and intentional culture
  • A team that is better prepared to thrive in dynamic and uncertain conditions
  • Greater stability and resilience within the organization
At the end of the three-month period, leadership teams are expected to:
  • Define what “great leadership” looks like for current and future leaders by crafting a set of equitable leadership competencies
  • Co-create professional development plans with your staff that you can use immediately
  • Create an action plan to implement talent development across the organization

Who Should Participate?

The Investing in Future Leaders program is meant for leadership teams of nonprofits and social enterprises. This program may be the right for your organisation if:

  • Your organization is growing, or you have completed a strategic plan and want the right talent to bring it to life
  • You want to ensure you’re centering equity in your talent development practices
  • You need to do succession planning for key senior leaders

Please refer to the Investing in Future Leaders curriculum for further details on the module.
