2023 ORGanized Webinar Series

Game On: Achieving Organizational Sustainability through Winning Strategies

Are you ready to level up your organization’s capacity building and sustainability strategies?
Then join us for the 2023 ORGanized webinar series, where we’re using classic board games to explore winning strategies for organizational sustainability.

Capacity building and organizational sustainability require many of the same skills as board games: strategy, adaptability, innovation, and passion. Just like a good board game, building capacity and maintaining organizational sustainability requires a clear vision, smart decision-making, and the ability to adapt and change as circumstances dictate.
