About the engagement
The Institute for Small Business Initiatives (ISBI) is one of the training institutions IFFB works with on governance and succession. An institution that trains entrepreneurs is itself an organization that has to be run well, with clear leadership, clear decision-making and a plan for continuity. Our work with ISBI gives the institution a structured way to build that governance, so its mission outlasts any one leader.
Institutions that teach enterprise need to be well governed too
A training institution's reputation rests on the quality and consistency of what it delivers, year after year. That consistency depends on clear leadership, clear decision rights and a plan for continuity.
Mission continuity
Governance that keeps the institution's purpose steady as leaders come and go.
Clear decision rights
Who decides what across the board, leadership and academic team, written down and agreed.
Leadership succession
A planned path for the next generation of leaders.
