This chart by facilitator John Caswell, pattern recognizer and map developer Hazel Tiffany, and digital mapmaker Ian Francis illustrates 4D™, a four-phased method to capture, visualize, and resolve issues around strategy, change, vision, value creation, and transformation in complex organizations. Facilitated conversations (top image) are used to identify and capture major issues in four phases: ‘Discovery (D1),’ ‘Development (D2),’ ‘Decision (D3),’ and ‘Deployment (D4).’ The ‘SVT Analysis’ validation matrix (left) presents data captured in D1-D3 and facilitates the exploration of gaps, priorities, implications, and dependencies. The ‘SVT Workbook’ (upper right) provides a rich record of all sessions, including preparation and analysis. The ‘SVT Digital System’ (lower right) is an interactive, multimedia system of learning and communication that enables multiple stakeholders to gain access to outcomes, journeys, and scenarios, together with all relevant context. Arrows depict the flow of knowledge from sessions into documented outcomes that communicate the new vision to leaders, stakeholders, and staff directly affected by the changes, building the commitment and support necessary to bring any new strategy to fruition.
