Business Planning for Indonesian Nonprofits


During the last week of August 2007, I had the opportunity to facilitate a session on business planning involving the staff members of NGOs coming from Jakarta, Bogor and Jogjakarta. During the three-day workshop, my colleague and I simulated the business planning process from market analysis and business model designing to staff management programming. It was a challenge converting the process in modular form to ensure that it could be understood by a lay person. Participants said they learned a lot, but the test of how much they have absorbed will be judged by the quality of their outputs which will be ready in early 2008.
