What nonprofits can learn from Coca-Cola

No matter where are you going in the world, there is Coca-Cola – shares her experience Melinda French Gates. Food, clean water and necessary health care may not be available but you can get a Coke, anywhere.

Melinda Gates believes if Coke can be produced, marketed, delivered and sold in developing countries, then nonprofits could help make these nations’ lives better as well.  She says nonprofits must learn from innovators and develop strategies like Coca-Cola’s to save lives and make the world a better place.

  1. Take real-time data and immediately use it to improve.
  2. Tap into local entrepreneurial talent.
  3. Great marketing.
