Farm Bureau Insurance is a big, established company, not the kind of firm often associated with innovation. But company officials have made instilling an innovation culture a high priority, which helps explain why the company just rolled out a startup and plans to launch others. Anthony Schoettle examines the strategy. Also this week, Susan Orr highlights some of the works of art that have sprung up around Indianapolis as part of Art & Seek, a program of Keep Indianapolis Beautiful and the Arts Council of Indianapolis. In addition, Lindsey Erdody examines real estate purchases and sales by Victoria Spartz, the GOP candidate in the 5th Congressional District, who is using profits from some of the deals to help fund her campaign.
