Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

466: Terry Karst answers our questions one more time
Q: What leadership lessons did you learn during the pandemic?
Maintaining open lines of communication with employees through plant meetings, keeping people informed, and demonstrating that keeping the workforce employed was a priority; treating customers well and adapting operations ensured we stayed viable and competitive.
466: Terry Karst answers our questions one more time
Q: Was it easy for customers to see your improvement or did you have to sell the story?
It wasn't easy at first; we had to move from subjective feelings to objective metrics, showing customers scorecards and proof of improvement, which then encouraged them to adopt metrics themselves and compare notes.
466: Terry Karst answers our questions one more time
Q: How do you change that reputation over the years?
By focusing on performance—on-time delivery, turnaround time, and quality—and by data-driven conversations with customers. We introduced clear metrics for each client and backed up claims with data, which helped shift perceptions from feelings to measurable improvement.
428: David Wright and HFG Architecture's place in the world
Q: Are there challenges when it comes to doing projects in Africa?
Yes. The team partnered with local firms to navigate local building methods, cultural considerations, and regulatory environments, while leveraging overseas experience and local capabilities to deliver world-class hospital projects.
429: Shelly Prichard and the Wichita Foundation's year
Q: What is the state of philanthropy right now, locally and nationally, and what trends are you seeing?
Shelly describes a cautious but ongoing generosity, with donors reassessing landscapes at the national level, spreading gifts over time, and valuing flexible, multi-year funding that supports operations beyond program-specific outcomes while highlighting the importance of education and transparency.
