In this episode, I speak to John Dunford, CEO of The Developer Society (DEV). DEV is a not-for-profit digital agency, working with NGOs and groups who are on a mission to make the world a better place.
We cover:
- The origins of DEV
- Agencies vs in-house
- Climate justice and the Minneapolis killing of George Floyd
- Building an agency culture
- Competition between charities and how we move beyond this
- Bridging the gap between people and technology
- Why John got the nickname of the Human API
- Fear of waste and decision making within charities
- Propercorn and why you should always play music to get people to lunch
- Learning from industries you don't always agree with
