A Kingdom - Purpose Driven Business

The Purpose Driven Business Concept is one of the Anchors On the Qualitative Axis of the Kingdom Business 3 Dimensional Model. It is at the oppositend of the axis from The Workplace Minitsry Anchor.
So what is a purpose driven business?

Here is what Brad Dawson says in his article, a Purpose Driven Business:

"A purpose-driven business is an organization that balances quantitative financial performance metrics with qualitative higher level personal
values. Unfortunately, a definitive purpose-driven business model does not exist. Since success is subjective and cannot be measured by financial statements alone,it is defined by the attainment of the owner’s vision at a given time."

This ecoomist says that a purpoe driven business considers Outcomes along with Incomes in Building a Business:

Tina Olivero at Trans4mind Suggests that Indivduals design their own purpose driven work experience by asking the following questions:

1. The place we are today, how did I create this? How can we create connection, peace and purpose?
2. The place I want to work becomes a place of personal expression and purpose; what structures do I need to create this?
3. When I look back on my working career I want it to be meaningful. What do I need to do to create that?
4. How can I develop creativity, imagination, and vision within myself and my people that will make a difference and have us in alignment with our mission?
5. How can I foster, courage, persistence, and passion in pursuit of the goals and missions of our people, teams and outcomes?

An adapation of this list provides guidelines for designing A Kingdom-purpose driven business

1. Would Jesus be engaged in doing this kind of enterprise?
2. How can we create connection, peace and purpose in business model Design?
3. How can the business model create an expression of Kingdom purpose that believers will want to join; what structures do I need to create this?
4. When the business looks back at its accomplishments over the past decade, you want it to be meaningful for Kingdom purpose. What do I need to do to create that?
5. How can the business develop creativity, imagination, and vision within myself and my people that will make a difference and have us in alignment with our mission?
6. How can the business encourage, courage, persistence, and passion in pursuit of the goals and missions of our people, teams and outcomes?
7. How Does the business model Serve Matt 28 19-20,
8. How Does the business model Serve The Two Great commandments, loving God, loving people?

Step One is Creating a Shared Vision:

The Design of a kingdom Purpose Driven business is led by a leader with a God-given vision for the business. They cast the vision to a small group of people who, together, will hold a stake in the success of the company. At a minimum, they give detailed answers to these ten questions:

1.     Who are our Customers?
2.     Who are our Competitors?
3.     What are our products and or services?
4.     Where will the business operate?
5.     What is your plan and budget for starting up,
6.     Where will this funding come from?
7.     Who is the owner(s) (Steward (s)), and what roles do others play?
8.     How will the owner meet their own obligations until the business can pay them?
9.     How does the business advance the Kingdom of God?
10.  What are the political, cultural, situational barriers that must be overcome, and how will you go overcoming themt?

The answers are the beginings of a business plan.

Step Two is Begining to prayer together over the vision, and building the business plan.
