So if you have attended a Nonprofit Management Institute presented by Stanford Social Innovation Review and the Association of Fundraising Professionals, you know it takes a while to absorb and process all the information. And if you have not attended, I highly recommend you mark your calendar and plan your budget for September 10-11, 2013 in Palo Alto!

The content for this year’s Institute was New Skills for a Complex World. This post is an aggregate of information and resources. As I am reviewing all I learned, future posts will include how I am applying information to my work.

We have created a Nonprofit Management Institute group on LinkedIn. All Institute alumni are welcome.  We have casually formed NP Institute alumni groups in DC and Chicago to meet in person and share how we are using what we learned.

General sources of Institute information:

• Twitter feed #npinstitute
• Stanford Social Innovation Review resources
• SSIR on Facebook
• Chip Heath offered a wealth of embargoed information on making better, bolder decisions until the Heath Brothers new book Decisive comes out in six months. Buy and read Made to Stick and Switch if you have not already!
• Beth Kanter joined us and shared slides here 
• Nathalie Kylander’s work on nonprofit branding
• Tina Seelig’s thoughts on the role of creativity are not to be missed and her book is worth the purchase . Stanford is also offering a MOOC (Massive open online course) Crash Course on Creativity with Tina
• Heather McLeod Grant took a new look at her book Forces for Good and applied them to local, community based organizations
