Pastor Andre Alves is the creator of the Church Model Canvas (CMC) and the Ministries Proposition Canvas (MPC). Both, CMC and MPC, are modifications of Strategyzer’s Mission/Business Model and Value Proposition Canvas. The CMC helps churches to better understand the nuances of their missions, effectively communicate their visions, and efficiently organize their resources in functional, collaborative, and discipleship oriented ministries. The Ministries Proposition Canvas is a tool designed to:1) assist church leaders to identify the spiritual maturity and aspirations of church members and non-believers2) organize ministries to assist members to achieve spiritual grow and sanctification through the increase of knowledge and grace3) organize ministries to reach out to the local community and highlight Jesus Christ as the perfect fulfillment of grace and justice, and to disciple those individuals who embrace repentance and accept Jesus as the Messiah and humanity Savior. We also utilize system thinking, system dynamics, and design thinking techniques to model churches and ministries to better fulfill our ultimate mission of making disciples of all nations.

I direct and manage the creation of supply chain, sourcing, and procurement innovative solutions. I manage the life-cycle of the innovation portfolio for global accounts in the US and EMEA. I manage the feasibility, scalability, desirability, and viability (FSDV method) of the proposed supply chain solution/product. I closely work with the SAP AppHouse ecosystem - Palo Alto, Sao Paulo, Minneapolis, Calgary, London, and Heidelberg.I also work to transform organizations to realize the value of innovation. Innovative supply chain elements must be introduced in the organization's business model, and the impact of the model must be taken into account. Strategy, Risk, and Value must be reassessed to consider the investment in a new product/solution. This is normally disregarded by most organizations, and such action diminishes considerably the ROI. I strive to make sure the entire value chain life-cycle is properly managed and the innovation value is realized to the maximum.Finally, I am responsible for the delivery of the final supply chain product and/or solution following a unique innovation delivery methodology (Explore --> Discover --> Design --> Deliver --> Run & Scale) with the FSDV method embedded in each phase of the project. This approach gives organizations and stakeholders the visibility needed to make mature decisions and eliminate waste. I also coordinate activities related to Project/Program Management, Organizational Change Management, IT Management, Business Process Management, User Training, and Governance.
