Philanthropic organizations across the globe all have a single goal; we want to work together to make the world a better place. The cause could be ending world hunger, poverty, disease or lack of education, but the intention is the same. The trouble lies in organizing all of those different parties who can help contribute money, resources and services onto that one unified vision. So how are NGOs starting to think like businesses in order to compete, deliver expectations and quantifiable change such that they can see a difference? How is new technology helping to produce more transparency, agility and information sharing toward this end goal?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
