Business skills and principles can be useful to non-profits and churches. However, simply imposing business standards on organizations who have non-business goals doesn’t work.
The Buller Centre adapts techniques that have been successful in management, strategy, and other business disciplines to the particular situation within the organizations we serve.
We focus on finding ways to help non-profits and churches achieve goals, rather than trying to get them to adopt the goals of business.
Churches
We offer management and leadership workshops for churches. The one we have coming up next is Nuts & Bolts for Pastors.
We also have workshops available on:
- Healthy board/pastor relations
- How not to make sure you keep your charitable status
In development:
- Productive staff evaluations
High Schools
We have developed lesson plans on using business ethics issues in class.
Other Charities & Non-Profits
Leaders of para-churches and other non-profits have attended our church workshops and have found them to be very helpful. We are in the development stages of creating management and leadership workshops specifically for organizations other than churches.
Consulting
Business faculty have done consultations for churches and other organizations beyond the business world.
Business Ethics Advocacy
Our emphasis on business ethics also leads us to public advocacy, including the business ethics of payday lending.
