Here is an interesting article on the use of technology by American “Megachurches”. Props to Candidasa for the heads-up. Here’s another related article from the Sitapati.info archives.

If you read the section “Towards Network Centric Preaching: Vision 2011″ from the “Operations Manual for World Domination” that I published in December last year, you’d have read my analysis of how information technology enables massive increases in scalability and speed - exactly what Srila Prabhupada had in mind when he talked of the “lame man and the blind man”.

“Think Steps, Not Programs” is how Andy Stanley and the crew at Northpoint summarize the concept that I spoke about in the article People are the Focus.

The idea is this: instead of having a strategic vision that focuses on programs, you have a strategic vision of a people-process - a pathway that takes people from where they are now, to where you want them to be. You then make sure that you have all the programs you need along that pathway, in easy, obvious, and strategic steps that take them from point A to point B.
