How To Build | SQ Leadership Consensus Model (Pillar + Fatih Decision)

Creating a blind Holy Spirit decision-making matrix involves designing a process that allows for unbiased spiritual discernment and subsequent integration of those insights into organizational decision-making. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set it up in Coda:

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up a Blind Holy Spirit Decision-Making Matrix in Coda

1. Define Categories and Criteria

Start by defining the categories and criteria for the decisions you need to make. These could include:
Projects
People (Hiring)
Partners
Planning
Proceeds (Finances)
Problems
?? What about specific or guidance/solutions needed for normal issues?
Each category should have specific criteria that are important for your organization.

2. Create Tables in Coda

Set up separate tables in Coda for each category. Here’s how you can structure them:
Projects Table
Project Name
Description
Spiritual Insight (Blind)
Score
Status (Pending/Approved/Rejected)
People Table
Candidate Name
Role
Spiritual Insight (Blind)
Score
Status (Pending/Approved/Rejected)
Partners Table
Partner Name
Description
Spiritual Insight (Blind)
Score
Status (Pending/Approved/Rejected)
Planning Table
Plan Name
Description
Spiritual Insight (Blind)
Score
Status (Pending/Approved/Rejected)
Proceeds Table
Financial Proposal
Description
Spiritual Insight (Blind)
Score
Status (Pending/Approved/Rejected)

3. Implement the Blind Review Process

Create a form or use the “Form View” in Coda to collect spiritual insights. Ensure that the form does not display any identifying information about the project, person, or proposal. The form can include fields like:
Spiritual Insight/Impression: A text field where intercessors can write what they feel led by the Holy Spirit.
Rating: A numerical rating field to quantify the spiritual insight.
The submitted form responses will populate the respective tables. Ensure the form or "Form View" in Coda includes fields to capture the anatomy and responses to the questions for each category.

Implementing in Coda

Tables and Forms Setup

Create Tables: Set up tables for People, Projects, Partners, Planning, and Proceeds, including columns for each aspect of the anatomy and fields for both blind and informed methods.
Forms: Create forms to collect data for each category. Ensure that the forms are anonymous for the blind method.
AI Analysis: Add a column for AI analysis to summarize themes and insights.

Automating the Process

Automations: Set up Coda automations to trigger AI analysis and populate the AI Analysis Summary column when new data is added.
Dashboard: Create a dashboard to display the summarized insights, aggregated scores, and statuses for leadership review.
By integrating the Anatomy of Spiritual Intelligence Input and setting up a structured, automated system in Coda, you ensure a thorough and spiritually grounded decision-making process.

4. Aggregate and Score the Insights

Once the spiritual insights are collected, aggregate the data in the tables. Create formulas in Coda to calculate average scores or aggregate ratings. For instance, you can use Coda’s formula feature to compute:
coda
Copy code
Average([Spiritual Insight Rating])

5. Integrate AI for Theme Analysis

Collect Feedback: Ensure all spiritual insights are collected in a structured format within your tables. For example:
Table 2
Project Name
Spiritual Insight (Blind)
Rating
1
Project A
"I sense strong alignment with our mission."
9
2
Project A
"This project feels anointed and led by the Spirit."
8
3
Project B
"I feel a hesitance, not sure about the direction."
5
4
Project B
"Lacks clarity, but there is potential."
6
There are no rows in this table
Use Coda’s AI to Analyze Feedback: Use Coda’s AI features to analyze the text for common themes and patterns. In Coda, you can add a button or automation to run this analysis. Here’s how you can set it up:
Create a New Column for Analysis: Add a column called "AI Analysis" in your tables.
AI Formula: Use Coda's AI formula to analyze the feedback. For example:
coda
Copy code
AI("Summarize the common themes and insights from the following feedback: " + thisRow.[Spiritual Insight (Blind)])

Automate the Analysis: Set up an automation in Coda to run the AI analysis at a specific time or when new feedback is added. This ensures that the themes and summaries are updated automatically.

6. Create a Dashboard for Leadership Review

Aggregate AI Summaries: In your dashboard, create a section that aggregates these AI-generated summaries. For instance:
Table 3
Project Name
AI Summary
1
Project A
- Strong alignment with mission
2
- Project feels anointed and Spirit-led
3
Project B
- Hesitance and lack of clarity
4
- Potential but needs more direction
There are no rows in this table
Dashboard Views: Ensure your dashboard includes these AI summaries alongside the aggregated scores and statuses.

Dashboard Example

Average Project Scores: Projects (8.8), People (8.7), Partners (9.0), Planning (8.5), Proceeds (8.3)
AI Summaries:
Project A:
Strong alignment with mission
Project feels anointed and Spirit-led
Project B:
Hesitance and lack of clarity
Potential but needs more direction
Decision Status: Project A (Pending), Project B (Approved)

Automating the Process in Coda

Set Up Automation: In Coda, navigate to Automations and create a new automation to run the AI analysis whenever new feedback is added.
Configure Automation Steps:
Trigger: When a new row is added or updated in the feedback table.
Action: Run the AI analysis formula and update the "AI Analysis" column.
Test and Refine: Test the automation to ensure it works as expected. Refine the AI prompts and formulas as needed to get accurate and useful summaries. 5. Create a Dashboard for Leadership Review
Design a dashboard in Coda that pulls together the aggregated scores and insights from all categories. This dashboard can have:
Summary Views: High-level summaries of each category with average scores and statuses.
Detailed Views: Links to the detailed tables for each category.

7. Facilitate Leadership Review

The leadership team can then review the aggregated insights and scores without knowing the detailed background information. Decisions can be made based on the spiritual insights first. Once decisions are made, you can reveal the detailed information for practical considerations and implementation.

Example Coda Structure

Projects Table Example

Table 1

Spiritual Insight Form Example

Spiritual Insight/Impression: "I feel a strong sense of peace and alignment with this project."
Rating: 9

Dashboard Example

Average Project Scores: Projects (8.8), People (8.7), Partners (9.0), Planning (8.5), Proceeds (8.3)
Decision Status: Project A (Pending), Project B (Approved)
By structuring your decision-making matrix in this way, you ensure that spiritual insights are prioritized and that decisions are made with a balance of spiritual discernment and practical wisdom.
