Sixty nonprofit executives from the Philadelphia area attended the HBS Club of Philadelphia’s fifth annual nonprofit conference in November. The one-day event provided attendees with leading-edge thinking on executing strategy in nonprofit organizations as well as a forum for networking and sharing best practices. HBS lecturer Stacey Childress, a cofounder of the Public Education Leadership Project at Harvard, led a case discussion focusing on selecting the right management tools to implement nonprofit strategy. Comcast COO Stephen Burke (MBA ’82) delivered the keynote address, emphasizing how organizations can emerge stronger from times of crisis.
