March One:
Make-up
Your organization has a unique, God-gifted “make-up,” or DNA. But is it fully “mapped?” Have you intentionally and deliberately documented each of the components?
In the case of human DNA, sheer knowledge of genetic make-up can literally save lives – by knowing predispositions for disease, individuals can make critical decisions about their health. Organizations have predispositions as well – whether they realize it or not. But the difference (and beauty) of organizational DNA is that those predispositions can be massaged and nurtured. Put simply, if you don’t map your make-up, you can’t tap into your make-up.
Using our proprietary and practical tools, you’ll answer these questions:
Why do we exist?
How does our community look if we’re successful?
What’s most important to us?
Who is God calling us to reach?
What makes us unique?
As with all of our marches, we’ll help you think differently by applying concepts and principles from the world of business. In March One, we’ll analyze sweetgreen, Walmart, Asana, Starbucks and Disney among others.
“Why do we exist as a congregation, institution or organization? What would be lost in our community, in our field or in our world if we ceased to be? What purposes and principles must we protect as central to our identity? What are we willing to let go of so the mission will continue?”
— Tod Bolsinger, Canoeing the Mountains
