When Billy Broke the Rules
By J. David Schmidt
June 11, 1994 began like many late spring days in Cleveland, Ohio. But it would not end like most.
The Indians were playing out of town. Walleye fishermen were working deeper water in the Central Basin of Lake Erie. Street people had begun to dumpster dive in the alleys while suburbanites in Akron and Medinah were pouring their morning coffee. Reporters at the Cleveland Plain Dealer were putting finishing touches to the Sunday paper’s lead story: Billy Graham Wraps Week of Meetings...
Food for thought…
When Billy Broke the Rules
For 32 years, J. David Schmidt & Associates has had front row seats on the larger story God is telling through charitable organizations and churches. And from our seats we hear the thoughts of leaders:
"We need to reinvent ourselves."
"We have lost touch with our constituents and what they need and value."
"The culture is putting up fierce headwinds. How do we respond effectively?"
"We need a shared vision and strategy. Who can guide us through the process?"
"Results. We're getting them, but know we can do better."
"How do we best steward our brand and what we know in an 'all things digital' age?"
If you are a leader or friend of a faith-based, nonprofit organization or local church, and these kinds of thoughts are your thoughts, welcome to our row. This is where we serve.
J. David Schmidt & Associates provides process consulting, constituency and market research services, knowledge management expertise and thought leadership for nonprofit organizations.
No one has all the answers in life. We have some scars, lessons and perspective. How can we serve you?
