London based training from ACEVO for September/October 2010

Positioning Your Brand Successfully

Come along to learn how your brand can have a positive impact and discover the principles of branding and marketing. Learn how to assess if re-branding is right for your organisation and the challenges you’ll face.

Hear from experienced individuals who have recently re-branded their organisation and handled change management.

Using Celebrities to Maximise Your Organisation’s Success

Over this lunch event, delegates will learn from charities that work with celebrities to raise their profile. Sue Davie, CEO of the Meningitis Trust and Sian Lloyd, TV weather presenter, will talk about their experiences of working together and how Sian has improved the organisation’s image.

Also a chance to hear about how the Trust developed from a small charity to an organisation that raises £millions and withstands the recession.

Are You Doing Well as CEO? Leadership Skills and Organisational Effectiveness

The authors of The Secrets of CEOs: 150 Global CEOs Lift the Lid on Business, Life and Leadership will share their insights over lunch. They will explain how CEOs can manage their organisation and enjoy their personal life.
Helen Dent, CEO of Family Action, and winner of Effective Charity Award 2009 will describe how to make your organisation as effective as possible.

Engaging Employees Through Effective Leadership

Andy Street, Managing Director of John Lewis, will talk to delegates over lunch about non-conventional leadership styles for the third sector.
Andy will also illustrate how John Lewis, a highly successful social enterprise, engages its employees to be commercially successful, no matter what the economic climate.

Engaging with Government and Parliament

A hung parliament, a coalition government, political reform, staff cuts to the civil service and public sector, and public spending cuts. All are likely to make influencing public policy more difficult, and more important.
In uncertain times, charities need to be better at effectively engaging with officials and politicians.

Making the Transition to Personal Budgets

The government is committed to rolling out personal budgets across health and social care. The implications for providers will be unprecedented.
Learn how to engage with users and local authorities under the new personal budgets scheme, and how to put self-directed support at the heart of your organisation.
