How to do Mission Action Planning: A Vision-centred Approach

A significant and growing number of churches are using the principles of Mission Action Planning (MAP). This volume argues the case for producing a high-quality plan, describes the practical steps involved, offers real-life examples, and provides evidence of the effectiveness of the process. It is based on research conducted in several dioceses of the Church of England - at diocesan and parish levels. 'The 'MAP' process is well described by Mark Ireland and Mike Chew in this excellent book and I am enormously grateful that they have taken the time and the care to enquire more deeply both into the process and some of the outcomes now in a number of Dioceses' (Lord Hope of Thornes KCVO)

Mike Chew has been the Business Excellence Director for Philips Lighting, and responsible for the development and implementation of the Philips global improvement strategy process, whilst also being churchwarden of an Anglican parish in Lancashire. He is currently serving as MAP and growth strategy facilitator for the Blackburn diocese. He is a co-author of the book "How to do Mission Action Planning" (SPCK 2009).
