The way forward for a corporate initiative is often presented in the form of a road map. This will work to a certain extent where the future is known and familiar, but when the way ahead is uncertain and full of unknowns, a road map is of little use, because there are no roads.

Dreamwork Maps are a way of stepping into the unknown future and charting what possibilities can emerge from unexplored territory. Using maps rather than simple pictures enables a group to create a collective and consensual perspective of the possibility space they find themselves in.

Pictures of the future tend to be images viewed from a single perspective, which others then judge and evaluate. Using Dreamwork Maps allows a group to participate in a collective vision.

Dreamwork Maps are created by drawing on the archetypal awareness of the landscape that we all naturally possess. Their use ranges from individuals envisioning a personal strategy to corporations using them to create a Common Ground that embraces the future success of the organisation.
