The Institutional
Architecture Intensive

A structured process for Christian-led organizations to diagnose their institutional DNA and design the architecture built to outlast their founder.

About IAI

The Intensive centers on five layers: Foundation, Governance, Engine, Integrity, Renewal. Most organizations have never had any of these five tested honestly, including the ones that look strong from the outside.

Developing With a Passion While Exploring The World.

Most organizations run on assumptions nobody has tested. What the organization actually values, who actually makes decisions, whether the revenue model still serves the mission or has quietly started serving itself, what happens if the founder is no longer the center of gravity.  

An intensive for leaders who want to design an institutional DNA that can Outlasts Them

The Institutional DNA Intensive is a direct, structured process for finding out, built from the framework in the book Institutional DNA.

It combines diagnostic assessment, live working sessions, and a written blueprint specific to your organization.

The Five Layers of Institutional Architecture

Foundation

the actual founding motive and operating values, as distinct from the stated version.

Governance

Who actually holds decision rights, as distinct from the org chart?

Engine

How the mission converts into resourced, repeatable execution.

Integrity

The mechanisms that hold values in place under real pressure.

Renewal

What the organization needs to survive beyond its founder.

What You get

A written Institutional DNA Blueprint specific to your organization, covering organisational foundational basics, governance, engine design, integrity systems, and a 90-day implementation sequence.

Who This Is For

Candidate One

Founders or senior leaders of Christian-led organizations, ministries, or enterprises past the earliest startup phase

Candidate Two

Leaders who suspect a gap between what their organization says about itself and how it actually operates

Candidate Three

Leaders willing to be direct about what isn’t working, not just what is

A limited number of spots are available each cohort. If you want to know whether your organization’s foundation can hold the weight of what you’re building, start the conversation.
