Have you ever been in a meeting that was so high-level it was out of touch with reality?
… or so deep in details that everyone lost track of why they were there in the first place?
You can’t get aligned when people are operating on different levels like that. The worst? When you think you’re aligned … then weeks later, you realise you weren’t.
I’ve been on all sides of this myself, as coder, designer, leader, founder and coach for teams in all kinds of companies.
Long story short, I tried all the processes I could find to overcome this struggle. But the theory in the books and talks didn’t match reality. Whatever I tried, teams still ended up doing too much work that wasn’t worth doing, or wasting time debating things that didn’t matter.
Then, five years ago, I stumbled on a breakthrough. I started making Multiverse Maps with teams and clients, and everything started to change.
Since then, I've used Multiverse Mapping to:
- diagnose a fatal product problem that was costing >$4m/year
- redirect a tech team from 3 months of wasted effort
- iterate a successful new product in 10 weeks (worth $millions)
- ship to a critical deadline even when API documents were wrong
- choose between competing product strategies in 90 minutes
- coach dozens of teams to take effective, adaptive action
- launch businesses
- and more
I included Multiverse Mapping in my Pip Deck, Innovation Tactics, now bought by over 30,000 intrepid innovators. And I've taught it to thousands of people in workshops and training sessions, refining it along the way.
In this course, you get the distilled essence of everything I've learned.
You'll learn how to:
- Align teams to take meaningful action ... without debates or trying to persuade people to join a workshop or "kickoff"
- Prioritise real work to reduce risk rapidly ... without dubious spreadsheet maths or a fictitious impact/effort matrix
- Plan your work in the way that Pixar plans movies or Frank Gehry plans architecture
- Hand off work with all the important context included ... without endless presentations and questions
- Create momentum in your project by building confidence ... rather than the momentum of a slow-motion train crash
- Act and adapt so you can make critical changes while it’s cheap and easy.
