ISSUE MANAGEMENT • Strategic Issues we expect to face in the next “n” years • What do we achieve by addressing them • Ladder upwards towards goals and “not-goals” • Discover emergent system of goals
ISSUE MANAGEMENT • What is happening to generate the issues • Ladder down to discover emergent beliefs system • These provide the basis for option surfacing
Methods of Group participation, manual, single user and multi user • Manual methods - Oval mapping • builds teams, provides social context, less threatening • able to be flexible in location & setup • Single User (SUGS) • focus on issue at hand rather than distracted by PCs • manage content and process (coding rules) • groups work with greater complexity more confident • increased productivity through greater concentration • Multi User (direct entry) (MUGS) • faster capture of data • anonymity
Use of analysis to manage complexity * reviewing orphans, heads (potential goals) and tails (potential options) * identifying emergent themes/clusters through - exploring those ideas that are the ‘busy’iest’ - checking the centrality of ideas * testing themes by - creating mutually exclusive sets (using cluster analysis) - creating hierarchical sets (tear drops capturing the explanations) * providing navigation using - colour coding for goals, key issues/strategies, options etc - producing an overview (route map) of the key issues (and goals) * highlight potential options through - identifying those potentially potent ideas that are composite tails * exploring feedback loops

Oval mapping reviewed * able to link within and across clusters * produce a network/overview of key issues * prioritise issues using voting or ranking * identify possible options * develop a goal system * use computer software to; - further analyse qualitative data/ information - manage multiple events * undertake a ‘role play’ to test options
