The Rural Think Tank

…It's Different Out Here.

Rural Think Tank Episode 5: Is your ministry more like HP or IBM?

August 9, 2026 by Brent Lacy

In this episode we are looking at how we can learn from the last 20 years or so of the histories of IBM and HP. They have made some strategy decisions over the years that helped them either grow larger or leaner. Which is the right choice for your ministry and community ?
