We see this programme as one of the initial steps to move from strategy into tangible action – developing excellent leadership in the social economy so that it can thrive and build towards a movement.
As a result of this exciting partnership with the School for Social Entrepreneurs there will be:
- Greater understanding of the social economy strategy
- Stronger networks, with a stronger voice
- Improvements in the vital skills of individuals and organisations across Lincolnshire to provide effective social enterprise leadership within the sector.
- A greater understanding of the opportunities social finance can offer organisations.
One person who has attended the Action Learning said the following:
“When I first encountered the idea behind Action Learning, I was sceptical. Surely if there was an answer to my more difficult work challenges, I’d have found a solution for myself by now?
It didn’t take long for me to be converted to this powerful approach to problem-solving. It provides much-needed space for thinking deeply around a subject, supported by peers who understand and assist you to peel back the layers of whatever is confronting you until an answer emerges.
There is some magic in it that I can’t explain, but I would highly recommend you give it a try.”
