Vision-Guided Experimentation

Vision-Guided Experimentation is seven practices that help leaders balance a healthy respect for time-tested tradition with a capacity for creative experimentation.

Vision-Guided

The Seven Practices

  1. Minimum Viable Belief — How to develop a transcendent vision-guided image that will enable a lean, experimental, and self-directing culture.
  2. Getting Outside the Building — How to engage in evidence-based discernment of community and congregational needs, guided by #1.
  3. Minimum Viable Programs and Ministries — How to avoid program-killing assumptions about what people need and want, by starting small with a no-frills prototype of #2.
  4. Rapid Iteration Prototyping — How to cut preparation time and expense by conducting rapid application, assessment, and adaptation of #3, repeating PRN.
  5. Lean-ing from the Inside Out — How to stop wasting your people’s time and talent, by instead stewarding their God-given gifts and skills.
  6. Leading from the Outside In — How to be an extrapreneurial leader who assertively acts in concert with other organizations with compatible missions that serve the same community.
  7. Measuring What Matters — How to move beyond counting butts in the pews and other vanity metrics to actionable metrics.
