A social enterprise might have the very best of intentions and even the very best ideas, but those intentions and ideas don't amount to much if the enterprise goes broke. 

You’ll have a hard time making an impact when you’ve got a perfect solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

So, when is ‘good for the world’ also ‘good for business’?

OC Connections’ Steve Betinsky spent the first part of his career in the corporate world before making the move into not-for-profits.

His mix of expertise means he can see the huge opportunities for social enterprises that others often don’t, and he knows exactly what to do to make the most of them.

In this episode of Getting it Right, Steve tells host Craig Foster about the “sudden jolt” that shifted his career and how he applies his corporate business experience to not-for-profit sustainability.

Is there a way to scale a good decision so that it works not just for your business, but for society?

In our new podcast Getting it Right, we’re turning to the people who have the answers.

Getting it Right is all about hiring, buying, working with purpose and creating inclusive workplaces.

You’ll meet industry leaders who’ve gone above and beyond to provide opportunities for those who need them. You’ll also hear from the people who took those opportunities and ran with them.

Inclusive employment and social procurement is ultimately about people–and in Getting it Right, you’ll hear real people’s stories, you’ll learn the benefits of being curious and looking in the right places, and you’ll get ideas about how you can buy and hire with purpose.

Season 1: Host and former Socceroos captain Craig Foster mobilised his profile as a career footballer to start a career in human rights activism. And for Craig, social procurement was the key to unlocking one of his most successful activism endeavors to date.

Season 2: Host Rae Johnston gives you real-world skills and practical tips to create a more dynamic and diverse workforce; Rae unpacks the hiring processes that work and guides you on best-practice principles for recruiting.
