Intro to Multiverse Mapping

​Ever been in a meeting that was too high level, too big picture – so much that it was kinda divorced from reality?

​Or been in a meeting that went far down into fine technical details that you lost track of what you were trying to do in the first place?

​These are challenges of granularity. Different people feel more comfortable at different levels of granularity. You can't make them prefer a different level. And you wouldn't want to, because there's value in every perspective.

​Instead, you can use visual facilitation to connect all the levels. My favourite quick and easy tool for this is a Multiverse Map – a flexible blend of opportunity trees, user story maps, funnels and flywheels that's simple to put together along with your team.

​When you master Multiverse Maps, you'll be able to:

• ​zoom in to the details without losing track of the bigger picture

• ​tether wild pie-in-the-sky ideas back to reality

• ​clarify and simplify strategy

• ​influence decisions and roadmaps

• ​spot experience gaps and technical problems before you start building

• ​expose critical risks, questions and puzzles

• ​open the door to research, experiments and probes

​In this event, we're going to practice Multiverse Mapping from scratch. I'll introduce the tool, we'll do group practice with some worked examples, and we'll leave some time for Q&A.
