Alignment Mapping
Purposedifferent
When the value proposition and customer expectation drift apart, it makes fit and mismatch legible. It shows where offering and need don't yet come together.For a process, product, or service with noticeable failure risks, the method assesses possible failure modes in advance. It directs attention to combinations of occurrence, effect, and detectability.When several people work toward one goal but hold different mental maps, Alignment Mapping makes the discrepancies visible. It arranges goals, assumptions, and priorities so shared direction becomes verifiable.
