Strategic Planning for Not-for-Profit Publishers: making the most of
your publishing business
5-6 April 2005, London
Facilitators: Mary Waltham, Peter Shepherd and Tony Llewellyn
A residential workshop for the directors and managers responsible for
the publishing business in a not-for-profit (NFP) organisation in which
publishing is an important part of the organisation’s mission, but is
not the sole, or even major activity.
Background
For many learned societies and other professional organisations, and for
a number of universities with their own university presses, publishing
is an important, but not dominant activity. Often it is an important
revenue stream; invariably it is seen as a way of maintaining the
organisation’s visibility with its membership and in the wider world. In
today’s rapidly evolving publishing environment there are new
opportunities and threats for the small to medium-sized NFP publisher.
This makes it all the more important for those responsible for managing
these publishing programmes to understand the strategic decisions that
are confronting them, and to have the tools and skills necessary to set
about finding the right answers for their organisation.
Workshop objectives
* To understand the challenges specifically affecting NFP
publishing businesses in the new, largely electronic publishing
environment
* To provide the skills for strategic planning that will enable
executives to set about finding the appropriate solutions for their own
organisation
* To provide a forum in which a small group of NFP publishers
can have a discussion and benefit from the experience of three senior
executives who have already faced the challenges of transforming a
largely print business into a largely electronic one.
Who needs this Workshop?
Senior executives with responsibility for the management, future
direction and shape of the publishing business of a small to
medium-sized not-for-profit organisation in which publishing is not the
sole or major activity. It is assumed that participants will have at
least 3-5 years’ publishing experience with P&L responsibility.
This residential workshop will begin with a working dinner on the
Tuesday evening (5 April) and finish at approximately 5.00pm on
Wednesday (6 April); dinner and overnight accommodation are included in
the fee. Places on this Workshop will be limited to 16.
Course Fees: ALPSP members £515, Non-members £615 (ex VAT)
Venue: The Novartis Foundation, 41 Portland Place, London W1B 1BN
