Following the success of this intensive three-day programme at National Convention 2007, Henley training sessions
return to prepare senior managers in leadership roles to make the right choices, to make a difference to their own
personal leadership competence and that of the staff that they lead and the organisations they serve.
Grounded in the application of contemporary management theory to effective fundraising practice, the programme will be
both intellectually challenging and stimulating whilst remaining highly practical - ensuring that the return on investment
starts the minute you re-enter your working environment. Highly participative in nature, the programme will mix plenary
sessions delivered by respected, international 'thought leaders' in their field, with the opportunity for active debate and
discussion of the key strategic management issues impacting fundraising, marketing and organisational performance.
What's more, each day explores complimentary though separate themes affording you the opportunity to embrace the
entire management development experience, or focus upon the particular aspects that resonate with you and your
organisation. CLOSE X
The training will take place along side the National Convention at the Hilton London Metropole. All training, catering and senior networking will take place in a private location within the hotel with panoramic views of the city and natural daylight. However, attendees are also able to visit the National Convention to catch a session or indeed catch up with an old friend.
You will work intensively with your fellow delegates, with senior faculty from Henley Management College, one of Europe’s leading business schools established to build management capability. We recognise that as much learning comes from working with other managers as it does through working with the internationally renowned and highly experienced faculty.
The core teaching faculty will be joined by leading practitioners – senior business managers and opinion formers, drawn from the public, private and non-profit sectors. MORE...

For those senior fundraisers who attended in 2007, there are more new and interesting topics examined in this year’s programme:
- Alternate conceptualisations of strategy and planning in the post modern environment
- Practical planning to achieve sustainabilty for the organisation and its key stakeholders
- A case study based upon brand new commissioned research on the importance of emotion in donor loyalty and motivation

- New research findings on the impact of digital channel management on patterns of consumer choice and loyalty
- Application of change strategies to fundraising management.
Delegates will work intensively with your colleagues, with senior faculty from Henley Management College and with respected academics and practitioners from home and abroad.
