When disruption affects the social sector, organizations face a critical choice in how to adapt. While some reactively scramble to catch up, others have already read the signals, explored the implications, and proactively adapted their strategies. Strategic foresight turns uncertainty into a strategic advantage.
Stanford's upcoming webinar training will teach non-profit leaders how to use foresight to proactively anticipate what shapes the future. Learn the best practices of community-based foresight, then apply them directly to the challenges you are facing.
By identifying emerging opportunities and threats, your organization can be better prepared for the next economic shift, technological disruption, or other challenge.

Discover how to become a leader whose life and ministry naturally reproduce in others. Mobilizing New Leaders will focus on identifying, developing, and releasing leaders into mission. Every multiplying movement depends on leaders who multiply leaders. Just as Jesus invested in a few who would one day lead many, this session will challenge you to look beyond formal roles or structured pipelines and see leadership development as a relational, mission-shaped process.

Sarah and Dave will guide an interactive conversation on recognizing calling, giving real responsibility, and coaching leaders over time. You’ll explore how mobilizing new leaders happens through intentional relationships, hands-on leadership opportunities, and ongoing support—not just programs or positions. Together, we’ll look at practical ways to equip people to lead and release them to start new works that extend and multiply the mission. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions LIVE and walk away with actionable next steps for mobilizing leaders in your context.

Bringing groups of people together with shared interests and building bridges between different groups. This webinar will be led by Nick Gardham in Partnership with the Jo Cox Foundation, who lead The Great Get Together, an annual celebration bringing communities together.
One of the key parts of our Community Organising Framework is connecting communities. We will hear stories of how we have done this as part of our work within the community and how by doing this you realise that, as Jo Cox once said “we are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.”
We will hear from our colleagues and friends at the Jo Cox Foundation about the work they do to connect communities across the UK as part of their annual Great Get Together in June and the stories of connection they hear up and down the country as part of their More in Common Network.

Discover how to become a leader whose life and ministry naturally reproduce in others. Launching Church Expressions webinar invites church leaders and movement-minded disciples into the bold and often uncomfortable practice of launching new church expressions. Dave Ferguson, joined by special guest Andres Spyker, will explore how multiplication shifts from a “want-to someday” to a “have-to now,” confronting the tensions of Kingdom versus castle, comfort versus courage, and safety versus legacy. Through real stories of church planters, everyday believers, microchurch movements, and global multiplication, you’ll discover why planting new expressions of church is essential to the mission of Jesus…and how ordinary people saying “I’m available” can ignite extraordinary movements. Whether you feel excited, intimidated, or stuck in addition mode, this webinar will equip and inspire you to take practical next steps toward launching new church expressions and leading with a courageous yes.

Making Disciple-makers webinar invites church leaders and movement-minded disciples into the bold and often misunderstood practice of making disciple-makers. Dave Ferguson, joined by special guest J.D. Greear, will explore how discipleship shifts from information to transformation—and from good intentions to reproducible obedience. Confronting the tensions between decisions and disciples, programs and people, knowledge and lived faith, this conversation draws from Scripture, research, and real stories of leaders who have seen ordinary believers become spiritual parents. You’ll discover why making disciple-makers isn’t an optional ministry lane, but the central calling of the Church—and how slow, faithful obedience can produce lasting gospel fruit. Whether you feel convinced but overwhelmed, hopeful but unsure where to start, or stuck in activity without multiplication, this webinar will equip and inspire you to take practical next steps toward forming disciples who multiply disciples.
