I have a confession to make. In April 2013 when I accepted the role of VP of global digital strategies I had no idea what I was getting into.
I was, however, convinced of the massive, undeniable influence digital culture wielded in our world, and therefore on our organization. And I had faith that God wanted us to dive into the digital river.
Since then we’ve come a long way. We have acquired an entire new vocabulary, daily tossing around terms such as customer decision journey, UX/UI, digital marketing, bounce rates, CTRs and CTAs, predictive analytics, outside-in, responsive content, and digital maturity.
Recently we took a step back to evaluate some of the snapshots and highlights of the past 14 months. Russ and Matt, two teammates, put together a brief timeline to highlight what God has done. You can enjoy it below. Just hover over the left or right side and click through our journey. I hope you’re as encouraged as I am.
Greetings from Amsterdam, where 120 digital strategists, entrepreneurs, bloggers, film makers, graphics designers, UX/UI folks, and coders begin meetings tonight for our final Indigitous event for this season. I’ve just come from Addis, Ethiopia, where a similar event produced a dozen projects in two days.
One of these projects, the GodTools Update, reworked a classic tool, the digital version of The Four Spiritual Laws. This app clearly explains the message of Jesus Christ – how to know God and begin a personal relationship with him. A group of coders and translators had done prework over the past few weeks to expand the languages from two (English and Estonian) to 15. The app is available now in iTunes and Google Play app stores. Download it now.
The languages:
+ Albanian
+ Amharic (Ethiopia)
+ Chinese
+ Czech
+ English
+ Korean
+ Lithuanian
+ Northern Sotho
+ Polish
+ Russian
+ Spanish
+ Tagalog
+ Thai
+ Turkish
+ Ukranian
+ French should be available in the next week.
