Christianity Today (CT) engaged Way Forth Collective to enhance efficiency, transparency, and accountability in project delivery—ensuring that all initiatives align with CT’s broader strategic plan. 
 

Leadership recognized the need for a standardized approach to project management that would empower teams while providing executive visibility into the progress and impact of their strategic goals.

Way Forth partnered with CT leadership to implement a structured framework that supports both operational execution and strategic oversight. This included:
 

• Establishing a Common Framework: Defining a shared language and understanding of project management across all functions to improve collaboration and efficiency.
   

• Implementing a Scalable Process: Developing a high-level, adaptable project workflow that ensures consistency and alignment with organizational priorities, regardless of department.
   

• Creating the PM Co-Lab: Forming a cross-functional implementation team responsible for refining and embedding the workflows within their respective areas.
   

• Building Internal Capability: Equipping the PM Co-Lab with the necessary training, tools, and best practices to lead and execute projects effectively.
   

• Enhancing Governance and Documentation: Developing and updating project management resources to standardize execution and improve decision-making.
   

• Providing Executive-Level Insights: Customizing dashboards within CT’s PM tool to give the Senior Leadership Team a clear, real-time view of all ongoing initiatives and strategic progress.
   

• Strengthening Leadership Capacity: Offering strategic coaching and mentorship to the senior PM in her leadership role, ensuring she is equipped to guide the PM Co-Lab and sustain project management excellence.

By implementing these solutions, Christianity Today improved project efficiency by 50%. 
 

They also increased organizational alignment and enhanced leadership visibility into key initiatives. The new framework not only drives accountability but also ensures that every project contributes to CT’s strategic objectives—positioning the organization for sustainable growth and impact.
