The 3 R's of RoadMapping

RoadMapping is about being continuously realistic, responsive and resonant.

In contrast to assumptions that make us unrealistic, questions keep us realistic. Assumptions aren't intrinsically bad, except when we act from them. They are ideal sources of new and useful questions. The temptation to act on assumptions is stronger when we have a lot of experience, expertise or a deep need to be right.

In contrast to following a plan regardless of what we're discovering, we keep our actions responsive to the constant of change. We can shift our approach in any given direction. We can discover new directions that would be even more useful than the ones we have been engaged in.

In contrast to directions that evoke a sense of doubt or irrelevance to our values, we resonate with our directions of choice in RoadMapping because we are part of shaping them and they engage our strengths. We naturally support what we help create. We are naturally committed to what we resonate with.
