What if the way we solve the world’s biggest problems… is fundamentally flawed?In this data-driven and bold TEDx talk, John Bailey breaks down the “math” of impact and exposes why our current approaches to solving societal issues often fall short. Through compelling examples and sharp insight, he argues for a new calculus: one that scales transformation through bold bets, people-powered networks, and future-ready infrastructure. John Bailey is transforming how food banks operate in Canada. As CEO of the Regina Food Bank since 2019, he has pioneered the nation's first full retail model food bank while expanding service by over 230%. Under his leadership, the organization has earned recognition as one of Canada's Top 100 Charities for three consecutive years and achieved prestigious Imagine Canada accreditation. A passionate innovator in the non-profit sector, John combines his MBA expertise with hands-on experience to revolutionize food security solutions. He has modernized supply chain operations, launched new products, and developed an operations innovation pipeline that has attracted record donations and community support. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
