Welcome!

What is a map?

A map is just a way to look at the game.

Reality: How companies usually operate

  • plan for a future time frame

  • try to get everyone on track

  • hope for the best

This is where Wardley Maps come in handy

  • start with the user need

  • break down components of value creation

  • but most importantly: dynamics of market environments are part of the map

For systems to be stable,

they

 must

 be dynamic.

Simon says:

"It's all about situational awareness, brudder!"

Wardley Maps: pitfalls

too biased: invite others to work on maps

too much wishful-thinking: involve experts to include reality

too complex: translate maps to your business context/use sub-maps
don't wrap your business around a model
maps are never static, neither form nor content
