Cooperation: the secret of burger kings

[your.sydneyanglicans.net] 4 Mar 2008--McDonald’s executive turned Anglican minister, Ted Brush says that as Sydney Anglicans plan for Connect 09 they have much to learn from the cooperative business models that underpin the major fast-food brands.

He explains McDonald’s and Sydney Diocese share a very similar ‘franchisee’ organisational structure.

“There are some key similarities organisationally between McDonalds and Sydney Diocese,” Mr Brush insists.

“Both have a centralised structure that manages matters such as property, financial oversight, insurance, recruiting and staff training. This is the franchise model.”

A major issue for Sydney Anglicans is a reluctance to act cooperatively, believes Mr Brush.
