A Compelling Case for Changel
A leading biotechnology organization was introducing difficult -- and emotional -- changes to structures, roles… and even compensation. A learning map diffused the emotion by depicting the business case for change; and also demonstrating the opportunities that existed on the other side of the change.
The reason most new technologies fail is not because of the technology… but because people don’t make the behavioral changes required to make it succeed. This map depicts a complex technology change initiative within the context of the business need. It also lays out the new employee behaviors and mental models required to sustain the new processes.
“Maps to Go”: Discover the unique power of the Story Mapm
From collaborative “napkin sketch”, to professional rendering, to multiple applications, the Journey Map is an incredibly adaptive tool whose message elements can be repurposed in many other contexts. The map works as a standalone communication tool; and also as a “cognitive organizer” for other tools and documents that leverage its visual message artifacts.
A Story Map is a unique offering developed by David Hutchens. Sized at just 11 x 17 inches, this tabloid-sized, hand-held document is a “fast” version a learning map that can be distributed as a communication tool throughout an organization – either as a printed document or virtually. The development cycle for Story Maps is less resource-intensive than it is for a full sized Learning Map program.
