Mapas LLC, Training workshops -

Purpose

Context

Any type of organizations can benefit of the training workshop:

Profit, non-profit.
Small, medium, large.

Etc.

The problem?

Wardley Mapping is offered under the license Creative Commons Share-Alike, and then there’s a lot of content available provided to learn Wardley Mapping. Despite this advantage, some companies or group of people are under one or various of these situations:

Not enough time.
Not enough focus.
Defensive attitudes during the conversations.
Blah, blah, blah…

Our proposition

We organize and facilitate a training workshop that guides the attendees through concepts and practice on their context of work.

How does these workshops look like?

The workshops are tailored for different audiences (executives, middle managers, product managers, educators, tech people, etc.

The tailoring process is based on workshop goals, previous knowledge and revision of future expectations the attendees are expected to fulfill.
