Francis Owusu of Kulture Break
Manage episode 331532325 series 3346391
In this episode of Executive with a Cause, host Tammy Ven Dange chats with Francis Owusu, Founder and CEO of Kulture Break.
Kulture Break isn’t your average dance studio. Instead, it breaks stigmas and builds futures for young people. Still, the popularity of its programs and growth in general has its limits.
Francis takes us through the challenges of recognising when service offerings need consolidation and avoiding the temptation to create programs specifically for funding opportunities. Stretching yourself too thin is another theme many listeners will relate to in his lessons.
Furthermore, online approaches that allow us to be ‘in multiple places at once' aren’t unique in the COVID-era. Fortunately for Kulture Break, they adapted to online offerings prior to the Pandemic, highlighting the importance of being able to diversify and pivot for long-term sustainability. Listen in to also hear about balancing this diversification with preserving the organisation’s core mission and the value of a good team.
