ANNOUNCING
SMDP ONLINE COURSE
Adaptive Problem Solving and Programme Design for Savings Groups, SACCOs and other Member-owned Models
October 10, 2016 to March 10, 2017
https://carsey.unh.edu/smdp/online
Facilitator Nanci Lee with Guest Expert Panelists
Course Description
Savings Groups (SGs), SACCOs and other member-owned models have demonstrated strong ability to support unserved and marginalized populations in saving, borrowing, informal insurance and other social supports. Unfortunately, unpredictable risks, shocks and conflict are ever-present and these populations are even more exposed to risks. This course addresses the dire need to build capacity of local practitioners who can think and problem-solve "on their feet." Participants in this course will build skills in adaptive on-the-job problem solving for member-owned models. Taking a key organizational issue, participants will learn, experiment and adapt in real time in their organizations and communities through an action learning assignment running the length of the course. Content modules and case-studies will support this process. Click on the outline below for more details. Organizations benefit from staff attending a course focused on key organizational challenges and outcomes. Participants gain valuable problem solving skills that can be applied to any position particularly those in succession for leadership.
A message from the course facilitator:

"According to the 70-20-10 rule, 70 percent of a manager's learning and development comes from "on-the-job" assignments that "stretch them," 20 percent from mentoring and 10 percent from the classroom. Our course is uniquely designed along this ratio of activities taking advantage of what e-learning uniquely offers. Participants have the time and space to practice in the field real time while learning about global best practices and receiving peer mentoring."

Feedback from past participants:
"This course taught me not what to think but how to think."
"It's like that saying…the toughest thing you'll ever love."
"You just do your job day to day in a bit of a haze without really thinking. I didn't realize that until this course."
"I feel better able to bring my voice to these discussions now. I think people were surprised by how I spoke in the last meeting."
