Each month there will be conversations with leaders and experts, both from within the fire and emergency services and from other fields. You can listen to it here, the Center for Innovation website, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Episode 2 features Fire Chief Brad Brown, Ed.D., EFO, CFO, of the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Fire Department and Fire Chief (ret.) Don Lombardi, CFO, from West Metro (Colo.)

And if you are curious about the Strategic Scan process, from ideation to report creation, Alex Henderson, Ph.D., Vice President of the CPSE CFI Board of Directors and Associate Professor in the Department of Public and Nonprofit Administration at Marist University (NY), describes it in this episode.
