About maps

• Space has a meaning
• You have an anchor (e.g. like where is north)
• (e.g. a systems overview is not a map but a diagram)
• „Maps“ in business are mainly not a map but a diagram
• Anchor: can be the customer
• Start with the customer and create a chain of needs for that customer down to the low level system components

Main Steps

• The purpose - the moral comparative
• Understand the landscape you’re competing in 
• Climate patterns - so how the landscape is changing
• Understand doctrine and principles of organization. Doctrine: universally applicable principles regardless of context .. around 40 
• Manage the evolutionary flow before you manage the process flow
