How do you measure success in a way that reflects your purpose—not just your profits?
In this episode of the Business is Good podcast, Chris Young introduces the concept of Key Outcomes and Results (KOR) as a more meaningful alternative to traditional KPIs. Rather than focusing only on performance indicators, KOR aligns every metric with your organization’s purpose, as defined by your Charter.
Chris explains how a well-designed KOR...
Why does your business exist? Not just what it offers, but the deeper reason behind why it was created.
In this episode of the Business is Good podcast, Chris Young explains the role of a Charter as the starting point for any organization that wants to operate with Kingdom purpose. A Charter is more than a mission statement. It is a clear expression of purpose, values, and service that brings alignment across the entire organizatio...

In this episode, we continue to talk through each of the areas of the Good Place Organization Operating System.

In this series we will focus on the Good Place Organization Operating System – the tools, methods, and organizational building blocks of a Good Place organization.

We will continue our why, what, how rhythm of Good Place . . . where we laid the foundations of “why” Good Place and Good Place organizations, this episode will address the ‘what’ of Good Place organizations – what are the purpose and aims of Good Place organizations.
In this 8th episode we will be discussing and finally answering the question . . . what is a Good Place?
In this episode we will be discussing what we think is a very interesting question and another foundational element to the concept of Good Place organizations . . . What is the purpose of work?
We are continuing our discussion regarding the foundational elements of Good Place and Good Place organizations.
This is episode 6 of the 9-episode series. In this episode we will be discussing what I may consider 1 of the top 3 concepts organizational leaders are challenged by when engaging in a Biblical purpose of work and a discussion of Good Place organizations – “the sacred-secular myth”.
We are still in our series entitled Good Place-ology. This is episode 5 where we will be discussing where we get “Good Place in the Bible.” If you have been joining our conversations in this series – thank you! We are continuing our discussion regarding the foundational elements of Good Place and Good Place organizations.
In episode 3, we answered the question “Why the Bible in Business” and talked about deriving definitions, principles, and values from the Bible. In order to do that with accuracy and integrity, which is always our desire, we must understand an overall storyline (or metanarrative) of the Bible these definitions, principles and values fit into, and not justify or prooftext our own thoughts by the Bible.
In this third episode, we are going to begin jump into a little more detail of those foundational elements we briefly highlighted in episode 2 . . .starting at the very beginning. That foundational starting place for Good Place is God’s Word, mainly the Bible. So, our topic is Why the Bible in business?
In this first episode, we will be introducing ourselves, The Good Place Institute and beginning to kick off our ongoing conversation about Good Place and leading and stewarding Good Place organizations.
In this second episode, we will be talking about the foundation of Good Place and laying some initial groundwork for future conversations about leading and stewarding Good Place organizations.
