Speak The Unspoken
There’s a lot of factors that come into play when climbing a mountain… Where you’re going, what you’re bringing, and our topic for the day, the smart choices and trade-offs you make along the way. This is strategy. In this episode, we break down ministry strategy and how exactly it’s different from goals, tactics, and objectives. We talk through leaning into God as you plan out strategic moves and give examples of brands like Tesla, Chick-fil-A, Manchester United, and the country of Iceland, doing strategy well. *Our Favourite Quote: * “We are always going to be faced with limits and I think strategy is about making choices that maximise the limits that we have.” Links & Resources: Chick-fil-a is the biggest competition to McDonald's: https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/financing/chick-fil-not-burger-king-or-wendys-mcdonalds-biggest-competitor Chick-fil-a also makes 4.4 million dollars in each store, they aren’t open on Sunday;: https://www.businessinsider.com/why-chick-fil-a-is-so-successful-2017-8 Starbuck Experience Book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/150619.The_Starbucks_Experience Iceland’s soccer culture: https://www.si.com/soccer/2018/06/01/iceland-world-cup-soccer-nation-story-culture-heimir-hallgrimsson Good Strategy, Bad Strategy Book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11721966-good-strategy-bad-strategy Netflix getting Laughed out the Blockbuster office: https://variety.com/2013/biz/news/epic-fail-how-blockbuster-could-have-owned-netflix-1200823443/ Disney streaming announcement: https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/11/18306809/disney-plus-streaming-service-price-launch-date-first-look-shows-movies-marvel-star-wars
