Roadmapping is a scalable process for organizing the way we shape the future we want to see. It is realistic, responsive and resourceful.
As realistic, it works from questions rather than assumptions. As responsive, it adapts our maps to changes in our knowns and unknowns. As resourceful, it is based on and grows our capacities.

Move forward, one question at a time
We work along our paths through questions representing what is available and curious to us. Questions lead to individual and shared learning and doing.
Refresh your paths
Moving along paths reveals new possibilities. As we move along our paths, we edit, delete and add them in ways that make sense.
