Idea Mapping

As I mentioned in my June Update Posting, I recently taught the 2-day Idea Mapping Workshop at Boeing in Seattle.

This portrait drawing was created by Dinesh Vora during my recent 2-day Idea Mapping Workshop at ACH. The purpose of this activity is to put adults into learning situations they think impossible. Then they apply a learning model and some brief instructions in order to accomplish tasks they didn’t think they could do. This provides […]

Last month during one of my organizational Idea Mapping Workshops, this group of IT professionals from a large automotive company in southeastern Michigan showed off their new juggling skills, but have no intention of leaving their day job. By teaching a skill that participants doubt they will accomplish, it forces them to come face-to-face with […]

Robert Davis attended a two-day Idea Mapping Workshop about nine years ago when he still worked at Ford. We recently re-connected and he shared this idea map with me.
