FROM DOCUMENT TO DAILY PRACTICE
Your system, ready to review.
Now try it with your team.
A document becomes useful through practice. Start with a small pilot, then make the next version better.
- Walk it together. Read the purpose and steps with the people doing the work.
- Try a fresh pair of eyes. Ask someone unfamiliar with the task to follow the instructions.
- Listen for the gaps. Note questions, hesitation, missing supplies, and unclear handoffs.
- Revise and review. Update the document, secure your church's approval, and share the current version.
