Event Description:
Every decision that you make either has a beneficial or adverse effect on you business. Your collective decisions shape the strategy, effectiveness and culture of your organization.
Our special guest speaker for August is James M. Helms of Formitus, who will briefly introduce you to a 10 Ten Stage Journey of defining your business model and creating a strategic plan. Consider the role of a designer, an artist or architect. James believes that business and design are synonymous. As a business leader, the entire world is a canvas where your creativity should thrive. Business leaders hold the keys to designing an organization that works well or fails well.
A successful business model is great but do you have a successful Kingdom model? As Christians in business we're called to be salt and light, but if salt is not salty what good is it?
James is a contributing member of a team that equips entrepreneurs in creating successful businesses through lean start-up methodologies, business modeling and strategic planning. Before all that, he is a follower of Christ and on staff with the Navigators Church Discipleship Ministry, an organization that partners with church leaders to develop generations of disciples in everyday life - where they live work and play.
