You know that quality is about process design and control, but, are all concerned clear about the end-to-end process?  Step A may optimize by cutting out a check, but what then happens to Step B?  How about keeping up to date and how are newcomers trained?  ..And, how do you keep the spirit of continuous improvement alive?   Lots of reasons to occasionally bring to bear the intense heat of a metaphor map!

Getting people, stakeholders, together always produces some unexpected benefit.  Bring them together with a tool that forces them to hear clearly the other guy’s problem and then think differently and visually— and you’ve got a winner of a session!

That’s Metaphor Mapping.  Give us a call to talk over how you might use it.  And, check out this post about quality leaders.
