Missional Intelligence LLC

Organizational Learning & Transformative
Organizational Development

Missional Intelligence LLC adds capacity in strategic ways that help organizations and ministries to move forward and be most fruitful. As part of this process it works with ministries and organizations to develop and implement long-term strategies that can significantly increase their impact and effectiveness. It works primarily with senior leaders and senior teams over longer periods of time (usually between 18-36 months).

The reason we take this approach is senior leaders get incredibly busy and pulled in many different directions. Regularly they have great intentions regarding what their organizations can accomplish but many of these hopes and dreams are never realized. Missional Intelligence LLC joins them on their journey, deeply learns about their explicit and implicit values, beliefs, organizational culture, institutional thinking, objectives, team dynamics, etc., and then shapes strategies and approaches that uniquely fit what they truly need. 

Missional Intelligence LLC is able to help organizations make significant changes, embed new processes and implement new strategies that can foster meaningful and significant change. It does not try to implement one-size-fits-all solutions. It tailors solutions and strategies (contextualizes them) in ways that will genuinely fit your organization. Creative research initiatives are frequently part of the process to better unearth and understand complex and hidden obstacles so new approaches and strategies get at what is truly hindering your impact and outcomes. 

The Role Of Dialogue And Learning Together

Missional Intelligence LLC takes a highly relational approach. It fosters dialogue at a variety of levels and thinks "with" leaders rather than "for" leaders. The reason for following a dialogical approach is that it fosters better long-term solutions. If people are involved in the learning process and engaged in designing new solutions together, there will be far less resistance later when it comes time to implement changes.

Dialogue by nature is also an extremely God-honoring activity. It recognizes the dignity of everyone involved. In very practical ways it sends a strong message about their value, their worth and the important contributions they can make. If designed and facilitated well dialogical processes can be highly motivating and bring the best out of your team.

Areas Of Expertise In Diversity And Inclusion Work

Missional Intelligence LLC has extensive experience and expertise working with extremely diverse leaders. Missional Intelligence LLC has worked with mission leaders and organizations around the globe, in both unique local and national settings as well as in large multi-national and global teams. Because of the extensive research done by the Executive Director of Missional Intelligence LLC, she has counseled and consulted with leaders in diverse areas such as how to foster greater mutuality in diverse collaboration and partnership so all voices are heard and solutions can be reached that foster and leverage diverse contributions and better outcomes. She has worked extensively in the area of developing women leaders for senior roles and top executive leadership. She has also worked with senior leaders helping them to grow in ways so men and women on their teams can do their best work together. The Executive Director of Missional Intelligence LLC has also done extensive research and writing in the area of generational inclusion, helping organizations learn how to create cultures and processes that enable different generations to work well together.  

Do You Have Issues That Are Extremely Challenging?
 
Missional Intelligence LLC does its best work when it is able to collaborate with senior leaders on deeply challenging issues. If you have goals that your organization is not reaching, and you sense that you could be far more fruitful and make a much deeper impact, contact us for more information.     We would welcome the opportunity to talk with you and possibly work with your organization too!​
Often the Executive Director of Missional Intelligence works with boards and leadership teams on a variety of issues such as sustainability, mutuality in global partnerships, developing women leaders, etc. This event was designed to strengthen Latina women from a variety of ministries in North, Central and South America who were stepping into executive leadership roles that had only been held by men in the past. ​​​
Meaningful Leadership Development
The Executive Director of Missional Intelligence LLC
has also frequently been asked to speak at
professional development events.
Others are quite large with hundreds of leaders from around the globe. For instance, this was the case when Dr. Lederleitner was asked to lead a plenary session about Polycentric Mission Leadership at a World Evangelical Alliance Mission Commission event in Panama.​
In addition to speaking at global events, Missional Intelligence LLC also works with global boards and leaders of organizations to design learning events that are meaningful and impactful for people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. This is a picture from an international conference for approximately 500 global leaders that she helped to design.
Integrating Diverse Learning Approaches​

In other instances webinars, online consultations, well-designed meetings, and writing initiatives      are developed to address hurdles leaders are facing in their ministries.

Other strategies such as developing online courses (such as asynchronous, synchronous and hybrid approaches) have been created to foster new or deeper competencies in critical areas. 

The purpose for each is helping people to be able to move forward 
and do their best work.
