Under pressure, everyone becomes more like themselves
In projects and change programmes, MapsTell makes the dynamics of a temporary team visible within a short space of time. Who wants to move fast? Who wants the plan settled first? Who needs time to get used to the idea? Naming this at the start saves weeks later on.
Deadlines amplify preferred behaviour. Those who want to press ahead push harder, those who are careful want certainty first, and both see the other’s behaviour as the problem.
Four moments when the map saves time
In a project, there is rarely time to work on collaboration. That is exactly why an hour on the map at the right moment pays off.
Why The World of Difference suits a tight schedule
Recognising is above all a skill. On the Floormap you practise with conversations from your own work, with real customers in mind.
Resistance is usually not unwillingness
What looks like resistance is often a difference in preference: someone may need more certainty, more time or more say.
Frequently asked questions
Below you will find the questions we hear most often, with clear answers.
How much time does this take in a project?
A kickoff session often takes half a day, plus fifteen minutes per participant for the questionnaire. Guides also work with shorter formats when the agenda does not allow more.
Does this work when the project is already running?
Yes, and that is a common moment for MapsTell products to be brought in. When collaboration is difficult, the conversation on the Floormap of The World of Difference is worth its weight in gold.
Does this work with a team that did not choose each other?
That is one of its strengths. You do not have to like each other to know how the other person works and what they need.
Does it work with teams that work remotely?
The map can be shown digitally and Guides work online in this way too. The physical element of the Floormap falls away, but you can still facilitate good conversations with The World of Difference in a digital setting.
