In the pursuit of innovation and operational excellence, organizations often face obstacles that hinder progress. These obstacles, known as blockers, are not always the most obvious or important actions, but they are the ones that prevent the rest of the actions from being effective. Identifying and resolving these blockers is key to improving performance and accelerating results. Perception Mapping (PMap) is a powerful tool that helps teams visualize and prioritize these hidden barriers. What Is Perception Mapping? Perception Mapping is a structured, creative thinking method used to analyze beliefs, assumptions, and actions that influence the achievement of a specific goal….

One of the challenges our users face with the Perception Mapping tool is collecting perceptions from other people. Usually, it requires people to be physically present in the same room or on a conference call, and even then, coming up with good perceptions takes a lot of time. Eventually, it wastes the majority of the meeting dedicated to finding the blockers, leading to the need for scheduling another meeting to continue. We have done our homework and concluded that this is a problem worth solving to make time more valuable. With the latest update to Perception Mapping, you can now…

The Perception Mapping tool has long been renowned for its ability to help engineers to find blockers. The process of finding blockers results in a list of perceptions and their blocking ranks. The higher the rank, the more impacting the blocker is. These are the ones that should be resolved first. Without it, you won’t be able to “move a needle”. But, what should we do when we end up with many perceptions with the same blocking rank? Now, by combining Perception Mapping with our popular Round Robin Ranking, you can effortlessly determine which blocker deserves your immediate attention and…

The last thing that we want to deal with as problem-solves is to waste our time on routine boring work, like copy-pasting data from one system to another. In many cases, we all already keep data in Excel sheets or something similar, so why would anyone need to invest the time before s/he can start working with that data? From now, you don’t have to! Following a number of requests, we just released a new feature that enables you to import data from CSV directly into the tool, and it takes seconds. The import is currently available on 3 tools:…

We are excited to announce that we have recently released an additional creative thinking tool: Perception Mapping (PMap). In this post, we want to describe what is it good for and why should anyone use it. What is Perception Mapping? Perception mapping (PMap) is a creative thinking tool that allows finding blockers (barriers) that prevent achieving a certain goal. When one creates a plan of how to achieve something, he will typically build a list of things needed for it, list of actions to be taken. It is no doubt that all these actions (perceptions) are good and aim to…
