In order to help people use Dialogue Mapping, Issue Mapping, and Compendium more effectively, we have designed a 4-session webinar series with Dr. Jeff Conklin for Dialogue Mapping and Issue Mapping Workshop Graduates. The course gives its participants: Refined mapping and Compendium skills The benefit of receiving additional, expert instruction from Jeff Conklin Connection with other mappers; insight into how others are using the tool The intention of this series is to provide coaching that gives you an immediate and practical ‘lift’ in your ability to use these thinking and facilitation tools powerfully. The course is fun and interactive. Our Graduate Webinar Series is held over the Internet with simultaneous use of the phone. Usually there are four classes, every other week, lasting 1.5 hours each. The cost is $250 for all four classes. There is a homework assignment for each class that should take approximately ½ hour.The first Graduate Webinar Series launched in April of 2008 and will be offered again later this year. Please email with questions about the workshop or how to bring it to your organization. Read on to find out more… What do we cover in the series? The series offers additional tips, support and instruction based upon requests from you, the graduates.
