Session: Unpicking the sector's biggest strategic challenges

What are the biggest strategic challenges facing fundraising leaders and together can we begin to unpick the solutions? 

Cii’s Irish Fundraising Director’s Network has hosted a series of meaty sessions since its relaunch last year.  Across a myriad of topics, conversations consistently lead back to 4 key themes:

• Fundamental Trust - overcoming internal silos

• Income Fuels Mission - holistic organisational strategy 

• People Matter - the future of work

• Culture Eats Strategy - leading by example 

This is a collaborative workshop tailored for fundraising leaders.  Together you will frame and brainstorm your core challenges, explore root causes and begin to unpick solutions with your peers, with tangible actions to take back to your organisation.
