The primary objectives of this program are to ensure that participants share a common understanding of social enterprise management and to align their knowledge with the principles outlined in the country's National Social Enterprise Development Roadmap.
The Introduction to Social Enterprise Development program is anchored on the book How to Manage a Business that Does Good: A Guidebook for Social Entrepreneurs to Deepen Their Business and Social Impact, published by Bayan Academy. The book serves as a valuable resource for participants, offering practical insights and strategies for managing social enterprises effectively.
Through this program, participants will gain foundational knowledge on social enterprise management concepts and how to respond to their social mission. They will learn core concepts in operations management, how to put beneficiaries at the center of human resource management, how to develop products and services that sell and how to be profitable. Participants will also learn how to develop sustainable financial models for their social enterprises, while deepening social impact.
The Introduction to Social Enterprise Development is designed so that, upon completion of the program, graduates are better-equipped to align their business operations with their social mission, create sustainable financial models, and make a meaningful difference in their communities while achieving business success.
