Thinking with the heart in the 21st century.

Non-profit organisations

Non-profit enterprises and organisations make a significant contribution to shaping a world where the focus is not only on economic success, but on the well-being of people, too. At present, social economy organisations are faced with a number of challenges, including huge cost increases, an acute shortage of staff, and a general decline in social cohesion. Economic and social objectives need to be combined. Opportunities lie in rethinking needs-based services and in finding solutions that focus equally on solidarity, sustainability and ethics.

Topics we know inside out: pressure to professionalise, skills shortages, sustainable structures, change management, generational change, fundraising, changing fields of activity.

“It's about important social issues, about coming together, about social peace, about participation, about helping everyone who needs help – the inner orientation has to be right, the values, the attitude. Managers need the right mix of realism and idealism if non-profit organisations are to compete with the private sector. Thinking from the heart must be the motto – or no one will be up to the task.”

— Christian Schüssler
