our process

"The 5Q Leadership Cohort has been invaluable to me. The assignments by the trainers have turned 5Q from a “head” thing into something that is being weaved into the very fabric of my heart. Because of that, I have seen such a difference in my ability to teach, train and live 5Q. Rich Robinson and the 5Q Learning Cohort team have developed a curriculum that actually gets you out of the classroom and teaches you how to implement 5Q into your own ministry. I can’t say enough about this course!"

"I learnt so much on the Creo process – the video content was very insightful, diverse and underpinned by strong values, whilst offering practical tips that I could use apply to my own business journey."

"'The Movement Accelerator is an immersive crash course that helped me as a young leader to shift my thinking about the organisation I lead and position it as a movement. I valued Rich and Alan's availability and authenticity, helping me get unstuck and pick through the key transitional changes we were facing organisationally, and giving me the big picture tools to define and shape who we are and where we are going. Rich and Alan deeply value community and the collective wisdom of the cohort was equally invaluable."

"The 5Q Training has been encouraging and a breath of fresh air as pioneering work can often be lonely. There were many moments of encouragement from the peer-to-peer journey, and many quality inputs for strategic steps to implement APEST in my mission’s organization and church plant."

"Creo has helped me step back from the relentless startup life and see the bigger picture. As it turns out, the bigger picture is a jigsaw, with several pieces missing! This programme has got me thinking about all the questions that nobody else was asking and helped me figure out the answers. It’s shown me practical steps to find those missing jigsaw pieces and fit them into place."

“The inaugural Movement Accelerator training cohort held in Australia far exceeded my expectations. With so much change happening in culture and society it is inevitable that the church must change to be fruitful and adequately offer spiritual resources found only in Christ to a hurting world. I loved the Accelerator. It was a poignant reminder that our future mission needs much more than a ‘gentle tweak’. It is time to accelerate the church on mission for Jesus and His Kingdom. As leaders we must be agile and ready to respond in faith. I commend this training to you.”

"Join a 5Q leadership cohort!! It will raise your awareness of APEST design and theology and ignite your imagination, moving you forward into new territory in your personal journey and leadership with others. For our church plant in Helsingborg the 5Q journey has given us a richer understanding of the makeup of our team, enabling us to position and equip people appropriately and lastly has given us the courage to make structural and leadership decisions to release the potential of the church and look more like Jesus in both character and the way we move."

"Start-ups flourish when the focus is clear, and the purpose is integrated with one’s personal vision and values. The Creo process and the accountability of coaching really made the difference for me. Leading from a place of true identity is worth the work it takes to uncover. So thankful to Rich and the team!"

"The Movement Accelerator has been a refreshing realisation that we are not alone in the hunger for a Jesus-mission-shaped ecclesiology. I have found fellow travellers and I am hopeful about the Church in Australia remembering who Jesus calls us to be. Thank you for the invitation & challenge."

"The 5Q training is pushing me to reassess my pulpit language, evaluate my leadership culture, and redefine my organizational structure in a manner that better reflects the fullness of Christ and his mission. I am thankful to be learning alongside other talented practitioners and appreciate the reminders to be experimenting and applying what I am learning and not just filling up another notebook. Our community has taken over 250 5Q assessments and the language and learning are now embedded in our DNA!"

"I absolutely loved my time doing the nine-week Creo accelerator programme, focusing on my social enterprise making apple juice with residents of a homeless charity. It was so great to meet other like-minded entrepreneurs and have access to such a rich set of resources. I learned a lot - from the theology behind business to Godly leadership, to social impact strategy. I honestly think I would not have got my venture off the ground without the help of the team at Creo. We have now finished our first apple season, and it has proved to be a great success so far. Thank you!"

"I was daunted by the task of implementing a system that I believed in but had never fully experienced or witnessed and an additional challenge was the long haul to achieving the paradigm shifts that would make way for 5Q implementation. Thanks to input from the coaches on the 5Q cohort who are extremely knowledgeable and experienced and the constant encouragement and learning to be had from my peers we have reached the point where our groups are starting to function and organize themselves around their primary ministries. And this is only the start!"

Stretched, impossible, possible, revelation, journey and supported.  I found the MLC very challenging and positive, pushing me out of my comfort zone to a new place.  It enabled me to look at our organisation not just from my own assumptions and thoughts or superficially, but to look deeply to find the causes, not just the effects and what our next steps could be.
