Social Responsibility

The Institute has a goal of enabling individuals and organisations from the not-for-profit sector – particularly those in the Pacific Basin.

It does this through a variety of mechanisms, including undertaking a strategy exercise on each of the Strategic Leadership Programmes and also by providing scholarships for not-for-profit leaders.

Since its establishment in 2000, participants on the Strategic Leadership Programme have prepared strategic assessments and recommendations for many not-for-profits (small and large) , including: World Vision, Outward Bound, Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind, Cancer Foundation, Neurological Foundation, Heart Foundation, Olympic Games Committee, Guides New Zealand, Plunket Society, Westpac Rescue Helicopter and Air Ambulance, Vision Australia and The PACE Centre (UK).

Similarly, scholarships have been awarded to a significant number of not-for-profit leaders, many from organisations that were the focus of a strategy exercise. These include the VP of World Vision West Africa, and three senior leaders from Nepal.
