Creative is step #1

in Misc. 5 Comments

As a follow up to Turning Ideas into Reality post from last month.

We had a 1/2 day Catalyst Programming brainstorm meeting a few days ago (more pictures from that meeting to follow). When you combine that meeting with 7-8 previous meetings over the last couple of months, there are lots of ideas to consider and research. Around 500 true program ideas right now we have on the list to consider for Catalyst in October along with upcoming events (not all on the boards below). Yikes! The hardest part is deciding what NOT to do.

Many of you have asked about these black creative boards that we use incessantly in all of our planning and programming. You can order them through Don at StoryboardTools.com. His phone number is 724-229-0954 (thanks to Betsy for the correct info on this). Highly recommend them, plus some trusty 3 x 5 cards from your local office supply store, some silver push pens, and you’re ready to go.

    Hey Brad….just an FYI….McNellis doesn’t sell the creative boards directly any longer. Jerry split off his part of the organization into a consulting service for effective business meetings.

    Anyone that wants to purchase a creative board needs to contact Don at StoryboardTools.com. His phone number is 724-229-0954. They also sell the super fancy push pins that have the extra long pin. Someone I know won’t use just any old push pin for creative meetings…so I can say for a fact that this website is the only place to get the good ones.

    Create…create…create.

    Betsy- great info. good to know. I am changing on the post. And you are right- the fancy push pins are the only ones that are “orange” friendly- they’ve been reggiefied.

  3. HEY! you should try to see how many people you can get to do the wave? Or have like a shout-down “We Love Jesus, Yes We Do!” across the arena! That would be sooooo holy!

    One more update BL – I was wrong, it’s Bob McDemus, not Don.
