#001 - Introduction to Wardley Mapping - The Body of Knowledge

This podcast summarises what I've learned about this mapping approach and how to apply it as a powerful strategic toolset. You'll learn the key principles, core concepts, and techniques for creating insightful situational maps for any industry. From anchoring your mapping in genuine user needs, to tracing value chains and evolutionary trajectories. From anticipating disruptions to determining strategic gameplay based on circumstantial realities.

We cover the foundational doctrine of strategic thinking, from systematic needs analysis to continual and open learning. You'll gain a framework for assessing strategic plays, from defensive moves to attacking disruption vectors. And we'll explore concrete examples and scenarios for pressure-testing and internalising this mapping mindset.

If you're feeling lost in today's rapidly shifting competitive landscapes, unsure how to plan and prioritise for the future, this book provides a way forward using principled, visual maps to achieve systematic situational awareness. It's been a transformative journey for me, providing a strategic compass when I had been blindly reacting to the latest market skirmishes.

I hope you'll embark on this mapping journey as well, keeping an open and entrepreneurial mindset for continual learning and improvement. Because just like any powerful strategic framework, Wardley Mapping will continue to evolve based on experience and insights from the field. The game is still being played, and we're all works-in-progress in our strategic mastery.

But with systematic situational awareness as your lodestar, you'll be equipped to confidently set sail towards creating awesome products, services and strategic plays - rather than just being blown from disruption to disruption. The adventure awaits...map in hand.
