Welcome to Season 5 of Purpose & Profit Podcast! In our first episode, we’re kicking things off with Chick-fil-A’s very own Officer VP of Innovation, David Farmer!
In this episode, David joins Carly Berna and Dave Raley to discuss how innovation and entrepreneurship collide, and how nonprofits can benefit from change while staying true to their core values and beliefs.
David begins by telling a fascinating drive-thru innovation story, and later, a different story about how prototyping can become an important step toward healthy growth in one’s organization.
Together, David, Carly and Dave identify how to stay relevant in an ever-evolving and dynamic marketplace. They talk about what it means to implement change where change is needed, while also identifying what areas should NOT be changed.
Lastly, they offer tools and insights for nonprofits on how to look to the future with both a clear eye on the organization’s key purpose, as well as a healthy discomfort that can lead to new ideas.
Other topics include:
- How to create an innovative culture
- How to develop a framework for innovation
- How leadership affects a business culture
