과연 BAM이란 무엇인가?

Business As Mission – 너무 나도 많은 이론적 설명이 만들어져 있고 또한 계속적으로 만들어지고 있는 약자이다.

For some, BAM is still misunderstood as:

Business For Mission.

Mission disguised as Business.

Business disguised As Mission.

모두다 하나같이 불안한 바탕에 세워진 단체들이다. 세계관이 너무나도 다르고 당연히 결과도 다르다.

Vector A cross Vector B = this should result in Vector AB.

Vector B cross Vector A = this should result in “-“ Vector AB.

When all these are laid out in 3-D mathematical or physical point of view, the results are much easier to understand. It basically generates the opposite result when the order is reversed.

BaM, BfM, whatever….

Need to realize that only a single digit percentage of all businesses survive the first 5 years of business. Thus, it is paramount that all business follow the rules of business. Unless there is a PROFIT, there is no BAM. Matter of fact, it might even be safe to say that a typical NGOs nor NPOs can not be a true BAM.

In my professional and spiritual life, there have been two companies which caused the profound impact and understanding in regards to BAM. Today’s example also came around a full circle and is an integral part of my life.

Let me tell you a story. I began to serve as a Trustee for CBU which my son just graduated from. On the board, there is a member from TX, TN Jimmy Draper who was the president of Lifeway. From 1991 to 2006 he led the Lifeway. My largest client is Terminix – ServiceMaster.

Service Master. – Terminix – a single largest customer.

“Honor God in all we do.”

They called the meeting of all Xian universities in USA to train them in the new way of running a church, university. This began in Canada in the name of “Policy Governess Model”. It is the world's most complete theoretical foundation for the board's governance role in business, nonprofit (NGO), and government organizations.

How can a 청소회사 change the entire world? Who would ever thought this could be possible.? But they did. This is the true BAM in large scale. But definitely can be duplicated by the smaller organization.

Network of over 5,500 company-owned locations and franchised licenses.
