Example
Church project managers and Fellowship Technologies can plan, convert, configure, install, train and deliver, but church leadership sets the tone and climate for change. If you are not seen as a participant in the change or are aloof and isolated from it, you'll undermine the project.
Fully participate in the change. Endorse the change decision, the implementation project and the system. Put your support behind the implementation team and ensure that it’s seen and noticed.
Support your people by giving them the time they need to complete their implementation tasks.
Once the system is live, use it! Look up phone numbers. Run reports. Look at metrics. Monitor your staff’s follow up on people’s requests. Use the system yourself, and let your staff know that you expect them to do the same. You can encourage the adoption of Fellowship One by letting staff know which reports you’re interested in, and asking them to enter information from their ministry areas into Fellowship One so you can run your reports.
Once past the change barrier, Fellowship One will dramatically increase your church’s capability to carry out the Great Commission and Great Commandment and to expand God’s Kingdom in your community and around the world.
