The '90s called again, and they want their 3-ring binder back.

In Part 4 of our series, Sean and Amy explore:

• Why documenting a strategy isn't the same as creating aligned action
• How churches sometimes use planning to avoid significant change
• The difference between treating symptoms vs. solving root problems
• What true organizational alignment looks like and why it matters
• Practical steps for moving from documentation to implementation

Plus, they discuss how to assess whether your teams are truly aligned, share real examples of effective and ineffective alignment and provide guidance for leaders who want to create living, active ministry plans that drive results instead of static documents that collect dust.
