3 COMPONENTS OF SUSTAINED MOMENTUM: NEW, IMPROVED & IMPROVING
1. NEW
--New triggers momentum
--Anything new by definition, generates some kind of momentum
--The momentum can be positive or negative.
--Organizational momentum is often triggered by one of three things:
new leadership
new directionnew product
--Momentum is never triggered by tweaking something old. It is triggered by introducing something new!
2. IMPROVED
--The new must be a noticeable improvement over the old.
--Ask, “is this a significant improvement over what we had before?”
--If you are in a situation where there is not enough money to do something new and improved, you are doing too many things.
3. IMPROVING
--Momentum is sustained through continuous improvement.
--Continuous improvement requires systematic evaluation.
--Continuous improvement requires unfiltered evaluation.
Evaluation must be rigorous and on-going and done by the people who helped create it.
But how do you apply NEW, IMPROVED, & IMPROVING, and WHAT ARE SOME MOMENTUM STOPPERS? Well, for that, make your way over to Dave Ferguson’s Velocity blog. He’s also posted some great notes from Craig Groeschel’s talks as well.

This is actually really good stuff here. Celebrating people and their impact and connecting their work to God’s work through this celebration also creates momentum.
