Management Support Online and other web based services
Management Support Online and other web based services
Management Support Online is different from other NGO resource sites in several ways:
- It provides a specialist focus on governance, management and operation of NGOs, providing detailed and practical resources on all aspects of running an NGO for members of boards and committees, managers and staff teams.
- It moves beyond static information based resources and carries programs, activity guides and training programs that provide detailed service improvement guidance, implementation tools and pro forma, and skill development.
- It is a flexible platform that can be adapted and tailored to meet the needs of different service groups, funding bodies or peak bodies for a specialist management support service.
As a comprehensive training and resource site with a confidential assistance service, Management Support Online:
- Enables and supports the development and maintenance of a viable NGO infrastructure for the effective delivery of human services
- Provides a cost effective approach - a comprehensive range of core and tailored management support resources for the NGO sector will dramatically reduce the duplication of effort at the organisational level - time and operational resources saved by this streamlined approach can be redirected into service delivery activities
- Enhances the management and governance expertise across the organisation, encourages active participation by all members of an organisation and maximises the outcomes of good management and ethical practices of NGOs
- Provides a risk management framework and acts as a prevention and early intervention strategy for governance and management related problems
- Provides a consistent standard of quality resources to NGOs operating throughout the state or territory
- Develops the sustainability and self reliance of NGOs and promotes the development of a culture of organisational and management excellence
- Develops the capabilities of NGOs as components of capacity building for communities - in Indigenous communities and in rural and remote communities in particular, strengthening the management of NGOs is a vital part of any strategy for community renewal and developing sustainable communities
- Addresses access and equity - NGOs located in rural and remote areas have limited or no access to most management support resources and services because of distance and cost factors
- Acts as a gateway to and clearing house for governance, management and operational resources
- Will also enable NGOs to prepare for standards accreditation, good practice assessments or implement a system of cyclical quality improvement.
