THE PROCESS HAS BEEN USED SUCCESSFULLY: From mom & pop organizations to those with a staff of thousands. From start-up budgets to hundreds of millions a year. From local churches to international organizations in over 100 countries. From small local churches (under 50) to large area churches (25,000+). From those with no business experience to Harvard MBA s
PREDICTABLE SYMPTOMS WITHOUT A STRATEGIC PLAN A Strategic Plan can be likened to a musical score for a symphony orchestra Unless everyone s on the same sheet of music, the result will not be pleasant to the ears. Without a Strategic Plan, expect the following:
DIRECTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS (internal and external) will be foggy. FRUSTRATION, TENSION, and PRESSURE will develop because of differing assumptions. DECISION-MAKING will be POSTPONED because a FRAMEWORK will not be available for clear decisions. ENERGY and RESOURCES will be wasted because the basic system won t be clearly developed. FUNDING will be INADEQUATE because of a lack of consistent communication to the organization s constituency.
