Event Series: Co-operatives and Mutuals Strategic Development Program

Co-operatives and Mutuals Strategic Development Program (CMSDP) is offered through AIM WA UWA Business School Executive Education. This three-day program has been designed by Winthrop Professor Tim Mazzarol following extensive research into the needs of co-operative and mutual organisations. Discounts are available for the BCCM’s members.

This face to face program is fully comprehensive and allows for a deep dive into the individual issues and opportunities that face participants and their organisations.

The program will focus on the sustainability, performance, and resilience of co-operative and mutual organisations.

The crucial need for the CMSDP

While there are many general management and development programs on the market, most do not meet the specific requirements of this sector, which has acknowledged the need for a dedicated course which captures the unique nature of the co-operative enterprise business model.

Many aspects of the way co-operative and mutual enterprises are managed are similar to more conventional businesses. However, there are also many important differences. These relate to areas such as their governance, distribution of share capital and voting rights, human resources, communications, marketing and strategic purpose.
