This week is Stanford’s Nonprofit Management Institute, an annual gathering that for two days will bring together 300 nonprofit leaders from around the world for what promises to be quite a learning experience. The Institute is not your typical conference, each day there are 4 speakers, two in the morning and two in the afternoon, allowing the entire conference to exist as a plenary, with long breaks between sessions for networking.

The speakers include Chip Heath, Kriss Deiglmeier, Hayagreeva Rao, all of Stanford Business School, as well as Heather McLeod Grant of Monitor, Peter Hero, William Foster of Bridgespan, and yours truly. I am actually quite looking forward to hearing what all these great thinkers have to say, and to meeting some of the interesting and innovative nonprofit leaders who will be in attendance.

Stay tuned, I will give a report upon my return.
