Private Issue Mapping Webinar Series  We offer our Issue Mapping Webinar Series privately to organizations. When offered this way, it is tailored to the specific needs of a group in terms of content and homework assignments. It also can have a timeline that is either shorter or longer than the public workshop. We can help your group resolve specific challenges while you learn Issue Mapping. Our public Issue Mapping Webinar Series has a track record of being effective and engaging. It teaches Issue Mapping, a powerful tool used to gain clarity about complex, dynamic, and “Wicked” Problems. It helps people make robust decisions that last and contribute to right action. The Webinar Series is also the pre-requisite for our Dialogue Mapping™ Workshop. A private series may be appropriate if you have a team that: is committed to having a tool that facilitates great clarity in the face of complexity is willing to learn a new way of listening to each other needs a more effective way to share thinking between meetings needs to be able to deliver better presentations to those outside of the group needs to have more productive verbal conversations Please contact us about bringing this private Series to your organization!

Private Dialogue Mapping™ Workshop (top) CogNexus Institute offers a private version of the two-day, public Dialogue Mapping™ Workshop for organizations.   Dialogue Mapping™ is a radically inclusive facilitation approach designed to work with extremely complex, or “Wicked”, problems. Unlike traditional facilitation tools, Dialogue Mapping™ works with the actual, non-linear process of solving big problems, rather than the linear problem solving approach that traditional facilitation tools reflect. The Dialogue Mapping™ Workshop takes the skills taught in our Issue Mapping Webinar Series and adds the component of a specific kind of facilitation with these other skills.  Our private offering of this workshop can be customized to address specific issues within your organization. The benefits of a private Dialogue Mapping™ Workshop include: The acquisition of a shared language for dealing with complex or contentious issues in on-going work together; Learning how to get traction as a group; to have a way to stop having the same conversations over and over; The ability to work on real issues, often reaching decisions on work projects that have previously been elusive; Bonding together as a team Please contact us to find out about bringing this workshop to your group.
