how to make missional entrepreneurship actionable?
This initiative came out of a conversation around how to make Missional Entrepreneurship more actionable. The goal is to use your business also as a ministry, but how to know where to start?
Just like we would approach a traditional business consulting, the first step is to assess where they currently are at and what is working well along with where the opportunity areas are.

Scoring Process
Step 1: Intake Data
Step 2: Analyze Data
Step 3: Provide Actionable Recommendations
The challenge came to figuring out how to make missional entrepreneurship quantifiable in order to give a score.
The answer was to identify which are the functional areas we would be analyzing and what thresholds would indicate a healthy score.
Quantitative & Qualitative
Scoring Factors
In traditional business consulting there are a number of areas which are assesed in order to understand the overall health of an organization such as people, product, process and profit. Then to bring in more of the missional side we expanded it to include purpose, place and planet.

How well do we demonstrate efficiency and kindness throughout our systems.Profit

How well do we demonstrate an attractive and intentional spirituality.Once the assessment has been taken, a score could then be given in each of the various functional assessmetn areas. This then forms the basis for recommending contextual training, resources or consulting based on the specific needs.
