Beyond Heroics

Everyone constantly screams "systemic outcomes," but it's mostly hearsay, instead individual heroics are what actually keep programs alive in today's economy.What if in 25 years, life-changing programs are running at scale, not because any one person willed it into being, but because we made decisions that compound. Alignment of labor, policy, markets, and social good actors becoming the normal way to operate, not the exception. Sruti Bharat and Bryant Black bring on leaders, experts, colleagues, change agents to discuss why this happens and how we can get beyond the heroics needed to get to real outcomes moving forward.
