Basadur Challenge Mapping
Summary
For over 30 years, Basadur Challenge Mapping has been relied upon by community organizations, start-ups, governments, nonprofits, SMEs, and Fortune 500 companies to uncover the pressing customer problems that lead to tangible new business and revenue. The purpose of Challenge Mapping is to uncover and clarify the different problems and subproblems lurking within a complex ill-defined situation, and to understand how they relate to one another. The Challenge Mapping Process also enables organizations to significantly improve the success rate of new projects.
There are 3 fundamental factors that make Challenge Mapping successful:
- Challenge Mapping helps organizations take the appropriate time to define the true customer problem at-issue
- Challenge Mapping perpetuates solving of smaller, more manageable, executable problems, instead of going for the gold taking monumental leaps where the cost of failure can threaten the entire organization
- Challenge Mapping focuses on innovation vs. cost-cutting. Too often leaders are trying to “make their numbers” in the short term at the expense of innovation and focusing on projects that build for the future
The success of Challenge Mapping depends on the skills of participants in the application of a special heuristic called “Why-What’s Stopping?” (WWS) Analysis.
