emrgnc
A cartographer draws maps to record newly explored terrain. These maps, once made, guide those who follow, allowing them to proceed with confidence, understanding where they are in the landscape.
When we explore complex problems we do so in thought. A Thought Cartographer maps the exploration of our thinking, recording the journey, to guide us when we return in person, and for all those that follow.
Too often, when we do take the time to explore our thoughts, we do not map where we have been. Collectively we build a picture of the landscape, but do not share and combine the many parts.
A Thought Cartographer records the landmarks visited by all. In making a map of the whole we can recognise where we are, and where others have already travelled. Seeing the whole landscape means we no longer need feel lost when exploring the parts.
