SCVO

The programme centres around five core themes with a final road mapping retrospective session and a final follow-up session: 

• leadership and delegation - examine and understand your approach 
• culture and wellbeing - the fundamentals of hybrid working
• iterative project management - understanding agile methodology
• asynchronous working - creating space for creativity
• journey mapping - cementing your next steps
• retrospective - what's worked and what hasn't

The past few years have been stressful for everyone, particularly those working in management positions within charities, community groups and social enterprises. With increased demand and decreased resources, the pressure of managing staff, volunteers and services has left many middle managers feeling burnt out.
