How many times have you sat in stunned silence after a senior person announced – with too much confidence – their ‘heroic’ change initiative.
You are stunned by how obviously they missed the mark. You could have helped them develop an effective strategy.

I developed this mashup map (and others) long ago to save me. And it helped my clients and students:
1. recognize blind spots
2. ask better questions
3. understand how and why things work the way they do
4. identify opportunities
5. develop greater awareness of what might happen in the future.
