Class Description:

Students will use research-based planning tools to explore the importance of stakeholders in a day of hands-on analysis of a real-world case for a nonprofit client. This skills class includes an active workbook on Moodle that requires approximately four hours of pre-class work: case study briefing; excerpted readings; selection of one stakeholder from the online list (or students can creatively nominate a new stakeholder); research that stakeholder's interest in the case; and, prior to class, post a 90-second video using the Moodle Slip Grid tool that introduces you and summarizes the stakeholder's interest in the case.

The Class Day will be spent in "serious play" with the client present, using various planning tools to learn how to analyze and mobilize stakeholders. The final paper will be a memorandum written for the Client with a completed Participation Planning Matrix that includes recommendations about how to involve at least one stakeholder in a strategy to accomplish state funding. It is intended that the experiences of this skills class will transfer to new ways of working that add value to graduate school coursework, professional jobs, and volunteer leadership and staff work.
