episode 8: The Business of Social Issues
How can we stop the gun violence epidemic? Temple University’s Center for Urban Bioethics, housed at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine, uses evidence-based intervention programs to detect conflicts, treat high-risk individuals and change norms in Philadelphia to prevent gun violence. The program has had success, but its leaders are keenly aware that sustainable funding is needed to ensure the programs' long-term success.
That’s why the center partnered with the Fox School of Business to think of gun violence as a business model problem and come up with a sustainable path to funding. In this episode, host Tiffany Sumner and TL Hill, managing director of Fox Management Consulting, discuss the project’s findings, how to measure success and what is happening with the CeaseFire project today.
