LAST Conference Anywhere

LAST Anywhere Workshop with Ben Mosior

Strategic Thinking with Wardley Mapping with Ben Mosior

Ben Mosior, Pittsburgh USA
Strategic Thinking with Wardley Mapping

In this session, Ben will walk you through a practical 90-minute strategic thinking process that leverages Wardley Mapping to create common conceptual ground for explicit, localized intent. Starting with the very basics of the process, you’ll learn to make a minimum viable map, scan the landscape for opportunities, and refine action proposals through challenge.

What is Wardley Mapping exactly? It’s helpful to think of it as at least three different things:

  1. A visual way to represent systems and how they change
  2. A body of research about basic patterns of change under capitalism
  3. A strategic thinking framework that visually represents our intent (#1) to help us exploit patterns of change under capitalism (#2).

All of these together make a powerful tool set for making better decisions, even in the face of increasing uncertainty.
