Upcoming CoP - Best Practices, Guidelines and Checklists

Our CoP in November will be featuring Peter Brassington on this subject.

Collectively we have learned a lot over the years about preparation, production and promotion of the kind of media that helps people flourish in daily life and especially that which helps them to grow with God. This starts with having a clear purpose, and an attitude of prayer but there are many things that help or hinder. Good training, best practices, guidelines and checklists all help.

Creating a checklist is straightforward. Following it is manageable. Getting people to adopt it consistently is harder. It requires humility—the willingness to admit we need help from systems and from others.

Checklists don’t replace expertise; they support it. They don’t give skills; they prompt us to apply what we know and to seek help when needed.

Many such checklists exist for translators, consultants, and media specialists. Specific examples we will look at include the Digital Strategy Guides and a proposed Scripture & Publishing Framework that I'm seeking further input on. I'm also seeking to expand a list of existing checklists for Scripture Engagement, Media, and Translation

MD&S Community of Practice meetings are held online through Zoom.
