All of us have felt the frustration of walking from yet another unproductive meeting, wondering where the agenda went. Yet, as problems become more complex, meetings are still the place where critical strategic decisions are made.

Issue Mapping offers a solution to reducing the frustration and repetition of meetings, leveraging the wisdom of the crowd and tapping into the knowledge that all participants bring to the table. It is a sensemaking framework used to support group discussions to assist all involved to come to a shared understanding.

Using the IBIS notation (Issue-Based Information System), issue mapping visually maps participants’ points of views, problems voiced, the rationale and reasons leading up to decisions. These maps are created as part of the meeting process and form a central point of reference. The maps are rich and detailed, yet can be easily read and understood by everyone, even by those not part of the discussion group. « less
