Brain-Teasing Slides

How To Use

• The 10 brain-teasing slides are best used to get your team off the ground in a white-board session or as part of a project-launch webinar.

• You can start anywhere and jump around these slides as best fits your team dynamics.

God Thoughts

• What is God doing in this place already?

• How can we join with Him in His work?

• What is God saying “just to us” about what we should do?

• Are there some of His people we should work with in this place?

• What major adjustments do we need to make to fit in with what God wants done?

4 Big Concepts

The 4 Steps

• Create – high-quality resources in digital formats

• Deliver – the resources to the devices people actually own

• Train – facilitators in how to use the resources and devices

• Catalyze – a disciple-making movement in a community

Finding Your “One Big Thing”

• Explore – all the possibilities you can• Discover – just one thing, which if

implemented, would make everything else easier or unnecessary

• Dream – what you can do with it• Design – sketch out a clear and inspiring

plan for the 1 Big Thing• Deliver – make it happen on a test basis• Review/Redo – tweak it until it achieves

excellence

Adaptation

• You need to CREATE resources that are CULTURALLY relevant and which fit the technical and financial CAPACITY of the folk who will deliver the training on the ground and which have a strong COHERENCE and simplicity (One Big Thing) so that people can grasp the idea and COLLABORATE with you to achieve an excellent result.

Wow!!• Quality is the key to virality!

• People say “hey this is great, it is so”:- inspiring- beautiful- useful- deep- relevant- easy- just what we need..

• How can you incorporate as many “wow factors” into your content so it has the quality that creates virality and people are excited to pass it on?

• Also is it in an easily (and legally) transmissible digital format so it can be passed along?

Most People Require…

• Theory – the basic subject knowledge

• Best Practice Examples – of success in action as a source on inspiration

• How-To Tips and Tricks – show them how-to do the practical parts of the work

• Connections – to resources, experts, funding and volunteers.

Systems

• The only way to ensure a consistently good result in anything (from washing the dishes to landing a rocket on a comet) - is with a good system -bad systems only produce bad results.

SWOT

• Strengths – what are the strengths of our team and our project?

• Weaknesses – where do we lack capacity, knowledge, funds, unity etc?

• Opportunities – what are the external opportunities for this project to succeed?

• Threats – what external factors could wipe us out? What security issues, regulatory issues etc?
