What is Metaphorming?
Metaphorming can be an important catalyst to improve idea generation, teamwork and communication for everyone in your organization. Pre-work includes identifying a specific issue, opportunity, or problem. During the workshop attendees learn the Metaphorming? Process, apply it immediately to their issue, communicate their insights and learning, get feedback, and then prepare a specific plan of action. They leave feeling energized, with a new perspective on their issue, and are ready to get moving.
It will create an uncontrollable impetus in each of us to develop a vision model and plan that can enable the ignition of creative sparks inherent in each of us so that we can better generate ideas and pursue collaborative innovation.
How the Metaphorming Process Works:
At the heart of the Metaphorming Process is "symbolic" modeling. This means, instead of just talking about ideas, participants actually build models that represent their ideas. Why guess what's on everyone's mind? Why not have everyone show and-tell what they're thinking and planning to do? Our modeling process helps people express complex thoughts simply and clearly and then moves them into action. It creates better mutual understanding and alignment around shared objectives and action plans. And it's a lot of fun.
