Role-interaction analysis for church leadership
The map behind your org chart.
RoleMap surveys every role-holder in your church, then draws a picture of how your leadership actually works together — the dependencies, the perception gaps, the roles your church most depends on. You get a written analysis your team can read, discuss, and act on.
What it is
Every church has an organizational chart. The chart shows authority and reporting relationships. What it cannot show is how roles actuallywork together — the dependencies that have grown up over time, the communication channels that have gone quiet, the role-holders who have become structurally central even though their formal position doesn't reflect it.
RoleMap measures the relational pattern that lives below the level of formal awareness. It asks each role-holder how they actually experience their working relationships with every other role. Then it turns those answers into a heat map and a written analysis your leadership team can read together.
How it works
Three steps. Two to three weeks end to end.
01
You set up the engagement
We work with you to define the role list, identify respondents, and gather your bylaws and org chart. The setup wizard makes this take an afternoon, not a project plan.
02
Your role-holders respond
Each role-holder gets a magic-link invitation. The questionnaire takes about fifteen minutes on a phone. Three structured questions per other role, plus an optional comment. No accounts to create.
03
You receive the report
Once responses are in, RoleMap renders a heat map and a written analysis covering centrality, perception gaps, consolidation candidates, and (if you uploaded bylaws) where governance has drifted from intent.
The four findings
Four analytical layers. One picture.
Centrality
Which roles your church most depends on — and where succession planning, sabbatical coverage, and role-clarity documentation deserve special attention.
Perception asymmetry
Pairs of role-holders who experience their working relationship at substantially different intensity. These are the conversations worth having — approached with curiosity rather than blame.
Consolidation candidates
Roles that the church treats as functionally interchangeable, even when the formal structure says they are distinct. Sometimes by design, sometimes worth restructuring.
Bylaws vs. actual
When you provide your bylaws and org chart, RoleMap compares the church's intended structure against the actual relational pattern. The gap names where governance reform is needed.

Pricing

Pastoral, not clinical
Findings are conversation starters,
not verdicts.
Reports are written in pastoral language with curiosity, not critique. The unit of analysis is the role, never the person. Every report is personally reviewed by Anton Brown before delivery.
Findings live below the level of formal awareness. Naming them is half the work of acting on them — and your leadership team is the one in the room when you do.
