You are right on the money! I’ve just ordered, but not gotten into yet, the book, “Milliium Matrix” reclaiming the past, reframing the future for the church. It may have some good insights for businesses and churches. I’m hoping so! Book by M. Rex Miller. Could be a good resource for you and others.
