Read what CogNexus Institute has to say about Dialogue Mapping.

What is Dialogue Mapping?

Founded by Jeff Conklin, Dialogue Mapping™ is a radically inclusive facilitation process that creates a diagram or 'map' that captures and connects participants' comments as a meeting conversation unfolds. It is especially effective with highly complex or “Wicked” problems that are wrought with both social and technical complexity, as well as a sometimes maddening inability to move forward in a meaningful and cost effective way.

Dialogue Mapping uses a combination of :

• A shared hypertext display
• A trained facilitator, and 
• A conversational grammar - Issue based information systems (IBIS).

Some Benefits of Dialogue Mapping

• Each participant's contribution is heard and acknowledged in the map.
• Each participant can see how their comments relate to others.
• The group sees where they are, where they've come from, and where they are going, and is thus self-correcting if they get "off-topic.'
• The shared display map shifts the dynamic of the group into a collaborative mode ... "What can we think and learn together."
• The map focuses the group on a kind of "lightly logical" perspective as they work on the issues at hand.
• The map increases the group's shared understanding about the problem at hand, possible solutions, meaning issues, roles and responsibilities ... all of the key elements of a successful project.
• At the end of the meeting or during breaks, the group can view various printed snapshots of their discussion.
• Thanks to the IBIS grammar, the map summarizes the rationale behind any decisions that are made.
• Since the map captures the thinking process of the group, anyone who was not at the meeting can be quickly brought up to speed by reviewing the map with them.
• The map easily displays all of the open issues and action items at any point.
