The Process
01
Gathering.
Think of it as moving.
With so much data scattered in so many places, the first step in setting up Planning Center is to guide you through gathering/exporting it from all the systems you've been using into spreadsheets for the hand-off.
You can get help from the PRO.
02
Sorting.
Those massive spreadsheets are overwhelming. That data will need to be consolidated. We'll "scrub the data" to clean it up and prepared for moving.
Field selection and strategic conversations of what you want to/should keep are enlightening conversations. There's some pretty heavy lifting happening in this step.
Get help from the PRO.
03
Moving.
Moving your data into any new database requires a plan and preparation...all that data needs to end up where you want it. That's the core of this step as Planning Center is prepared for you.
There's some pretty heavy lifting here as well - but you don't have to do any of it. Leave it to the PRO.
04
Unpacking.
One day you'll wake up and all that data has been unpacked in your brand new Planning Center account. The heavy lifting is done. Now it's time to have fun.
Training day is right around the corner!
05
Living.
Getting your staff team in the same room for Training is very exciting. Integration into your routine and development of NEW, SMART ways to put it to work is what this phase is all about.
You'll be up and running in a new chapter of more effective ministry than ever before!
Welcome Home. You made it.
