Exploration is an interesting metaphorical alternative to what we usually think about as planning. Rather than provoking the doubt and resistance of planning, it provokes curiosity and engagement.
Exploration is engaging because it involves going somewhere, as in exploring new places. It involves creating new things, as in exploring new kinds of cooking or art. It involves new ways of connecting, as in exploring new people and conversations.
At its core, RoadMapping is sheer exploration, fueled by continuous curiosity and engagement in our directions and questions.
