Operating model

How the solution is structured to operate

The solution is organised around clear responsibilities, controlled workflows and sustainable operational ownership.

  1. Establish each parish as an independently administered organisational unit within the deanery

  2. Maintain parish directories, SCCs, members, personnel and pastoral structures through controlled workflows

  3. Assign leadership and office-bearer responsibilities against recognised parish and deanery structures

  4. Provide deanery-level oversight without removing appropriate parish administrative autonomy

  5. Support communication, reporting, auditability and future module expansion through a shared platform architecture
