Fundraising as an interdisciplinary endeavor was where Fraser and I wrapped up our conversation however that was only after tossing around a myriad of topics ranging from US politics to the effects that Walt Disney and Don Draper have in our worldviews. I was grateful to hear Fraser suggest that we bring behavioral economics to the forefront of our thinking and allow it along with a few other disciplines to enhance our thinking in the field. The team at Good Works strikes me as one that can be counted on to think carefully and critically about what their client’s are trying to achieve.
This was my second conversation with the team at Good Works and I’m delighted to a part of the line up with both Holly and Fraser this week at Fundraising Day in Ottawa. I’m excited to hear what Fraser will have to say about story telling and, perhaps afterwards, the two of us will begin working on our case for more interdisciplinary thinking in fundraising. This has long been an aspiration of mine and I’m encouraged to hear that Fraser shares this aspiration as well.
As always, we are grateful to our friends at CueBack for their support of The Fundraising Talent Podcast.
