PPPA 6058 Lecture 3: NGO Management Class 3 Notes
Document Summary
New: what is classified as overhead defines meaning and value f the org -> i thought there was a generally/commonly agreed definition of what counts as overhead. Conflict: there is a guideline to defining and reporting overhead costs. The org should not have a leeway in categorizing overhead . Shared services model can mean a lot of different things, because it isn"t a concrete, straight-forward model. Caring over overhead functions in the time zone where the projects are taking place. Save the children case: the work was being carried out at the top, but the field offices/smaller members were enforcing it, pushing for more concrete changes (e. g. requesting new managers). Seek out change agents (those who bought in) Slowly convince opposition instead of steamrolling over them. Unified advocacy -> better publicity -> better perception from donors. Long-term career goals (longer trajectories) since good staff in smaller members can move into different/higher positions. More professionalism and better working as a group.
