Helping Non Profits Initiative
Over the years, I have interacted with many smart students and also seen how non profits, charities and social enterprises could benefit from advice given by motivated, smart and knowledgeable students. So I have started what I tentatively call the FrontRunner Initiative to link students with organizations that could benefit from their expertise as part of a degree course.
I will be configuring some of my strategy oriented university courses such that students will interact with a non profit, charity or social enterprise to provide the organizations with strategic reports on issues that the organizations might have. Issues could include: marketing, finance, innovation, strategy and internal operations.
It will help students connect and help solve real world problems and add to their experiences, and, organizations access to fresh ideas from smart young people.
Connecting students with organizations helping improve our society.
Every 4 months or so, when the courses end, I will update this site with how it all went.

3 年Wow Prof Bowen. Having worked with multiple NPO over the years, your initiative is a great idea which will be helpful to those NPO’s , because in most cases many NPO’s ?do not have adequate funding to ?carry out worthwhile initiatives. Regards, your past MBA student Shirley Hyre
