Change is easy…

Metaphor Mapping is a collaborative approach to change. It encourages you to create a “big tent” where all the key stakeholders create the future vision and become its champions. The big tent helps you quickly identify any groups or individuals who believe they will lose something because of the change, giving you an early opportunity to address their concerns.
