Ten stages from first contact to leadership development.

Each stage defines the journey, data model, automation opportunities, notifications, dashboards, analytics and success metrics needed for scalable temple growth.

Scalable architecture

Designed for thousands of devotees and multi-temple deployments.

The module starts with ISKCON Lucknow as a disciplined pilot, then generalizes into a configurable Temple Suite capability for temples worldwide.

Unified devotee record

Every event, book, course, seva, mentor interaction and volunteer role updates one structured spiritual engagement profile.

Journey orchestration

The platform recommends the next meaningful step instead of treating every person as a static contact.

Temple governance

Role-based access protects personal information while giving leaders insight into growth, care and service health.

Multi-temple deployment

Shared product architecture supports local temple autonomy, regional reporting and global rollout patterns.

Data model spine

One devotee profile, many spiritual engagement signals.

The intellectual property is the engagement model: how a temple recognizes readiness, assigns care, recommends next steps and measures growth without reducing devotees to sales leads.

Identity

Profile, family, language, consent, location

Engagement

Visits, events, books, courses, seva, donations

Care

Mentor, check-ins, pastoral notes, dormancy risk

Development

Training, roles, responsibility, readiness

Governance

Access controls, audit trail, reporting scopes

Network

Temple, zone, region, global configuration

Pilot to platform

Pilot in ISKCON Lucknow, then package for global temple rollout.

The pilot should produce more than a working implementation. It should produce the repeatable data model, workflows, dashboards, training system and rollout playbook for future temples.

Pilot foundation

Weeks 1-3

ISKCON Lucknow devotee journey map, data model, consent model and first registration flows.

Engagement workflows

Weeks 4-7

Outreach, event registration, visitor tracking, segmentation and mentor assignment workflows.

Development pathways

Weeks 8-11

Courses, books, volunteer engagement, seva participation and leadership readiness dashboards.

Global template

Weeks 12-14

Package configuration, analytics model, training materials and rollout playbook for other temples.

Leadership analytics

Measure spiritual engagement without flattening it into sales activity.

Dashboards should help leaders care better: where people are coming from, where they are dropping off, and where service leadership is emerging.

Attract

New contacts, source quality, first visit conversion

Engage

Event attendance, repeat visits, segment activation

Nurture

Mentor assignment, check-ins, course enrollment

Retain

Dormancy recovery, seva consistency, volunteer retention

Develop

Course completion, coordinator readiness, leadership bench
