「NGO Organizational Health Assessment」Course Series 「NGO 机构健康评估」课程系列

Introduction

The concept of organizational health is about the ability of an organizational to align, execute and renew so that sustainable performance could be achieved. Inspired by this organizational health concept, which is originally developed by McKinsey and Company, HKCSS and HKU EXCEL3 collaborated and conducted the 2nd pilot project to modify the model to make it more applicable on NGOs sector with positive feedback. To further promote the concept and application in NGO sector, a number of initiatives including a free on-line tool and operational guide, training workshops, and knowledge café are prepared to facilitate self-help of individual organizations.

A series of training workshops will be held in Mar 2021 as follows. An online NGO Organizational Health Assessment Platform (OHA Platform) has been developed by HKCSS Institute and is open for use by Agency Members after joining the 1st and 2nd Session.
