first High Growth Partner Forum will bring together 60-75 participants
from 16 Grameen Foundation (GF) partners (14 high growth partners
plus two Mifos beta-testers with high growth).
The
2006 High Growth Partner Forum is expected to be the first of a
series of annual events where GF convenes partners to discuss relevant
challenges in a peer learning environment. These partners, from
eight countries around the world, have all made a significant commitment
to rapidly scaling up their operations. The unique challenges this
presents, from an operational and financial perspective, will be
the focus of the forum, where participants will share their own
answers to these challenges. Innovations in human resources, product
development, financing, MIS automation, and other areas will be
highlighted. Unique outside resources will be brought in to discuss
key focus areas of evaluating financing decisions, product development,
and process engineering.
With
the participation of managers from 14 institutions, the High Growth
Partner Conference will be a gathering of energetic and innovative
individuals. It is the hope of those of us at GFUSA, that by the
end of the conference, the exchange of ideas amongst partners, along
with the relationship between program officers and their respective
partner institutions that participants leave energized and inspired.
