Jeremy Thomas and Myron Weber navigate their way into the Map stage of the 6-stage Strategy to Execution model.
- “The map is not the territory.” (Clausewitz may have said it. If he didn’t, Korzybski definitely did.)
- Don’t over-literalize mental models.
- Abstractions are essential to understanding and communicating complex realities
- In mental modeling, form follows function.
- 3 activities that make up the Map stage:
- Identifying the Problem
- Assessing the Value
- Proposing Solutions
- Key Techniques and Success Factors
- The Map stage is not about knowing the right answer. It’s about exploring the possibilities.
- Get scientific: propose hypotheses and design ways to test them.
