  • Getting unstuck, changing the culture of your team or organization, identifying gaps and closing them, and moving to becoming a high performance team describes the excellent work of Bud Wrenn. Working with Bud is fun, practical, engaging, at times painful (what you learn about yourself) and just plain hard work! I highly recommend the Pinnacle Consulting and Coaching Group – it’s worth your investment.

Having founded and still leading a church and a leadership development organization for pastors and non-profit leaders, Bud is uniquely qualified to serve in this sector. He understands the nuances of ‘church’ life as well as ’corporate’ life, has navigated both successfully, and today has a foot in each of these worlds.

Bud’s expertise in team building clearly augments his work around the material in his own book “Innovative Planning: Your Church in 4-D”. Chock full of material relevant to organizations of all kinds, this first work targets churches, as they are considered by many to be ‘the worst run organizations in America’.

Services will largely center on four primary objectives:

  • Moving the church from bureaucratic structures toward a culture of innovation.
  • Assessing alignment between a) what the organization says it’s about and b) what it actually does, and closing any ‘alignment gaps’.
  • Driving ownership of the organization into the hearts and minds of its’ members.
  • Helping the organization develop sustainability with regard to its’ long-term effectiveness.

Pinnacle’s offerings around congregational and organizational health and planning are radically transforming churches and non-profits into high functioning organizations.

1 to 2 Day Congregational Leadership Planning Workshop
Based on principles from the book ‘Innovative Planning: Your Church in 4-D’, this workshop gives organizations and teams a jump start on developing a contextualized and systematic planning process for their own congregation.

The workshop will bring clarity around the congregation’s vision, and will foster real ownership of the members, as they become productive in the establishment of concrete, meaningful organizational plans. Simulated Planning Workshop Segments will help churches develop real organizational alignment, assisting participants in the establishment of missional, strategic and tactical initiatives.

One-day or Two-day Off Sites
Again, principles of healthy organizations cut across businesses and churches. There is, in this event, more of a focus on how to build healthy teams in a volunteer culture. This off site, based on the model developed by The Table Group, and based on content of Lencioni’s very successful books on organizational health, the 2-day off-site is geared toward driving church leadership teams to greater levels of organizational clarity among themselves and the teams they manage. The entire approach and ‘curriculum’ will be built on the learnings around the four disciplines of a healthy organization:
  • Team Cohesiveness
  • Creating organizational clarity
  • Over-communicating organizational clarity
  • Driving organizational clarity into our human systems

TEAMinar Multi-Team Workshops
This delivery model is a unique offering in which the material from the Two Day Off Site or Innovative Planning Workshop is offered in a multi-team format. Though not as in-depth as either of the above offerings, teams will engage in exercises and be exposed to tools that will help to jump start the organization. TEAMinar provides an economical means for experiencing at a broader level much of what the Two Day Off Site offers.

Leadership Coaching
Leadership coaching from the Pinnacle Group will help individual team leaders and members overcome barriers that prevent them from moving forward in the pursuit of the congregation’s goals. Coaching is especially effective as a part of a follow-up plan for the congregation.

On-Going Meeting Facilitation and Assistance
The sustainability of any congregational health initiative will be very dependent on the time the team spends together. In this regard, the quality of meetings is so critical. The conduct of team meetings should be very intentional, and the principles of the Five Dysfunctions material should be lived to the fullest in order for team meetings to help move the team, and the organization, forward.

Follow-on Consulting services will help drive into the church’s DNA the principles of organizational health and planning, and will help create the sustainability to shift the congregation’s culture.
