It’s Complicated
Why Faith-Inspired Cause Driven Organisations are so complex and what to do about it
Untangling the Maze: Mastering complexity in Faith-Inspired organisations
Faith-Inspired Cause-Driven Organisations (FICDOs) make a profound yet often unnoticed impact. They employ hundreds of thousands and serve millions daily, shaping communities and changing lives.
But all is not well. These organisations may seem straightforward, but their complexity runs deep. Too often, this leads to dysfunction—making work frustrating, draining, and unsustainable. And when an organisation struggles internally, its mission suffers.
How do we create better FICDOs?
The first step is understanding what makes them complex. Next, we must recognise that traditional corporate best practices often don’t work in FICDO contexts. Instead of forcing ill-fitting models, we need fresh approaches—ones that embrace their unique challenges and empower them to thrive in their mission.
