Innovation Mapping
Axel Meierhoefer, in partnership with Dr. Charles Savage, created an effective blended learning solution that allows:
- Alignment of executive groups around complex issues
- Experiential visual collaboration as a learning technique
- Group consensus building approach that can encourage executives to tackle interdependent aspects of a problem for the purpose of finding solutions.
Use of Innovation Mapping in business training ensures that subject matters are easier for students to understand and also incorporates the element of fun.
Developed in 2009, Innovation Mapping bears similar concepts to experiential visual learning, but goes several steps beyond. It makes for an awareness building amongst groups of people that allow them to sync with each other and the domains they are seeking to master.
Initially, Innovation Mapping was designed for students in academic institutions. Now this method is delivered effectively to a myriad of learners from high school students to PhD scholars to corporate employees attending training.
Using this workshop methodology, businesses are able to find the root causal relationships between their problems and the actions of their organization, gaining rich insight on how to formulate solutions in a holistic manner.
