How does it work? We initiate a discussion of five good ideas, and ask atten-dees to transform them into great practice.Twenty-five nonprofit leaders agree to participate in a three-week program. In thefirst part of the program, we convene for a three-hour session (lunch is provided)during which an industry or issue expert initiates a conversation on five practicalideas and explores with attendees how they can utilize these ideas to further theirorganizations mission. At the conclusion of the presentation, participants network in small groups to brainstorm how to specifically implement these ideas into theircapacity building and planning work. Three weeks following the convening, atten-dees simply respond to an electronic survey and share their application of at leastone of the new ideas. Information from the session will be posted on the BCBSNCFoundation Web site.
