Custom Board & Executive Development Programs for Cooperatives
These custom programs are co-created with your key governance and
executive leaders and the faculty of the Wisconsin Executive
Education and the Center for Cooperatives at the University of
Wisconsin–Madison. The result is a unique and focused immersive
development program that targets your cooperative’s most current
governance and strategy challenges. This allows us to present
programming that is directly applicable to your cooperative’s needs.
Whether you are looking for an immersive retreat held at the Fluno
Center, UW’s premier executive residence facility, or at a venue of
your choosing, we work with you to provide the programming and
thought-leadership your board and executives need to lead your
cooperative forward.
Our programs are intense and interactive, combining lecture, peer
discussion and case studies with multiple individual and group
activities for impactful and condensed learning.
We view cooperative leadership development as an
ongoing process rather than a one-time event.
As such, we strive to provide maximum flexibility in
content selection, format, and delivery options to
accommodate your dynamic needs.
Topics to address the unique challenges of cooperatives:
- Board Governance Roles
- Board Interactions (CEO, Management, Staff)
- Strategy Formulation and Execution
- Board Dynamics
- Member Communications and Conflict Management
- Decision-making, Influence, and Motivation
- Cooperative Financial Acumen
