“Open Book”: Social Enterprise panel and workshop

March 5, 2024 1:00 - 4:00 PM Central Time | Siloam Mission Classroom | 300 Princess Street, Winnipeg

Join CCEDNet Manitoba and Strategy Made Simple for an inside view to how things are done in other social enterprises at the “Open Book” panel discussion and workshop on March 5!

Learn from other practitioners, gain a better understanding of how others approach problem solving, and apply new techniques and ideas to your social enterprise.

The session begins with a panel discussion where Siloam Mission’s Social Enterprise Manager will describe situations and issues that occur during operations. A team of social enterprise advisors would speak into those situations. Topics we expect to cover include: 

• how to manage supported employment
• how to sell new services
• balancing impact with revenue generation

Following the panel learning experience, apply the lessons discussed to your social enterprise through activities led by Matthew Rempel of Strategy Made Simple. Share your experiences, work through some exercises, and share ideas with the other participants.
