ROBERT FRANKLIN BROWNE Chairman Emeritus Great Plains Coca-Cola Bottling Company

Bob Browne’s place on the 2014 Entrepreneurship Day program is a fit for two reasons.

First, in entrepreneurial fashion, he engineered a highly leveraged buy out of a very traditional, well established, and well-known local business—Great Plains Coca-Cola Bottling Company. The time was 1980; interest rates were over 20%, and Bob was just 37 years old.

Bob’s leadership philosophies at the time could not have been more traditional. Bob was a third generation Coca-Cola bottler, he had received his MBA from Columbia University, he was a Vietnam veteran, and he had worked in New York City with Arthur Andersen & Company before moving back to Oklahoma City.

Bob was CEO and Chairman of the Board of Great Plains from 1980 until he sold the company in 2012. During those 32 years, Great Plains grew to become the fifth largest bottler of Coca-Cola in North America.

But the second and more important reason that Bob is on our program today has to do with Great Plains’ transformation from those traditional western leadership philosophies that most of us know so well, to something very different—something very much rooted in the teachings of W. Edwards Deming.

This transformation is explained in Bob’s new book, Becoming Better The Sys-Tao Way: Transforming Traditional Leadership Philosophies Through the Lens of a Classic American Business.

Bob will discuss how this transformation allowed Great Plains to become world class in so many ways, why so many established western organizations find this type of transformation difficult to accept, and why Asian cultures and entrepreneurs are more likely to embrace these emerging leadership philosophies as a better way to serve customers, achieve a competitive advantage, and, oh yes, make more money.

KAMI HUDDLESTON, BFA Co-Founder Brides of Oklahoma

ASHLEY BOWEN MURPHY, JD

Co-Founder Brides of Oklahoma

Kami Huddleston and Ashley Bowen Murphy are magazine and digital publishers who thrive on creativity—both in business and design. Kami, a graphic designer, and Ashley, an attorney, joined forces in 2007 to develop a multimedia platform that connected brides with local wedding vendors in the marketplace.

Their multimedia advertising model—inclusive of print, web, blog, electronic and social media components—is the go-to resource brides rely upon to plan their weddings in the local marketplaces they currently serve.

The duo began their venture in Oklahoma with Brides of Oklahoma (www. bridesofoklahoma.com), and quickly expanded to serve the ninth largest city in the nation, Dallas, with Brides of North Texas (www.bridesofnorthtexas.com).

They’ve been keenly focused on serving brides in the local wedding niche, where their proven content marketing strategies and quality print publications have become the premier wedding resource. Kami and Ashley expanded their mission to serve a wider audience with the recent launch of Wed Society (www. wedsociety.com)—the wedding inspiration search engine or “Google” for weddings. The site houses a collection of their favorite editorial content and weddings they publish but is also home to a searchable archive of tens of thousands of inspiring wedding images through partnership with an elite group of wedding photographers and wedding fashion designers from around the globe.

Kami and Ashley are both proud graduates of Oklahoma City University. Kami is originally from Illinois and came to OCU on a full scholarship to play softball. Kami received her bachelor of fine arts in graphic design and won three national softball titles during her tenure. Ashley graduated summa cum laude with honors with a finance degree and served as president of the student body during her undergraduate years. She went on to attend law school at OCU as a Hatton W. Sumners scholar and received her JD in 2005. She worked in private practice at Hall Estill as an attorney before launching the company with Kami in 2007. Kami and Ashley both married fellow OCU graduates and each has two young children.
