Thought Leader: Satish Nambisan

By erecting unnecessary barriers to meaningful creation and growth, we are endangering the long-term success of our organizations, members, and the fields we serve. Learn four different approaches to open innovation that your association can adopt to create new products, services, and other forms of value for your members. You will learn to rethink your organization’s overall approach to innovation by identifying the fundamental principles that make it possible for you to tap the vast creative potential living beyond your association’s boundaries.

Thought Leader: Leslie Crutchfield and Heather McLeod Grant

The authors studied a dozen nonprofits that achieved significant national and international results. They’ll share their findings, which have implications for how leaders run and philanthropists fund organizations in the nonprofit world. Also, check out how their findings compare with those of 7 Measures of Success: What Remarkable Associations Do That Others Don’t.
