    Planning for success is intentional and must be defined based on the 9 part definition of success. With the insight to the depth of planning required the probability of success is enhanced every time. I have found the course very useful and will be employing the insight and renewed understanding gained into planning of for Melanesian Caring Hands Incs and expand the fund raising programs.

    I really learnt a lot from this course. We redid our Mission Statement, worked on our unintended consequences and realise now that we need to scale without spending much more.
    It was so interesting especially with the activities that I couldn't wait to finish the course.

    I'm satisfied. Useful course that made us consider about this social environment in every region of the world. This course made us care about the world that is developing-country. So, we must open our eyes to some of this country, especially our neighbor.
