Top Ten Lessons Learned
Public Domain
1. Focus on process, not just product2. Focus attention on leadership3. Depth takes time4. Mindset versus tool set, culture is
critical5. Make transparency visible 6. If you don't feel a little incompetent,
than you're probably doing it wrong - or not doing it at all
7. You can't wait for every star to align 8. Reaching for perfect is paralyzing 9. ‘Feedback Loops’ are not a breakfast
cereal 10. Who's got your back - and whose
back do you have - and how do they know it

Mapping Struggles
“What are we doing wrong as trainers/consultants?”“Checking out” during traditional mappings in trainingsTrainers/Consultants working harder than staffWorkers/Supervisors don’t know where to start and get
overwhelmed with they idea so they don’t do it at all“We don’t have time”“We already do this”Focusing on the “product” of a map versus versus the
process Chance to avoid transparency and vulnerability

Mapping Struggles…What Do We Do About It?
We need supervisors and leaders up at the board with a marker in their hand
People want to practice first – in a more “real life” situation
We need a safe place to practice where there is less pressure to get it “right” Small Groups With Peers
Knowing we need to make the “process” come more aliveInvolving more people
