This podcast summarises the key themes and concepts from the provided excerpts of "Introduction to Wardley Mapping Doctrine". It outlines the core principles of Wardley Mapping, the importance of the Strategy Cycle, and the four phases of implementing effective organisational doctrine.
What is Wardley Mapping?
Wardley Mapping is a strategic tool used to visualise a business's competitive landscape. It helps organisations make informed decisions about where to invest resources for maximum strategic impact. The map is composed of:
- User Needs: The core requirement a business aims to fulfil.
- Value Chain: Activities, resources, and capabilities that deliver value to the user.
- Evolution Axis: Represents the evolution of components from genesis to commodity.
- Components: Individual elements of the value chain (e.g., technology, processes).
- Anchors: Fixed points that provide context and stability (e.g., user need).
- Links and Dependencies: Relationships between components in the value chain.
The Evolution Axis
The Evolution Axis is a crucial element of Wardley Mapping. It highlights how components move through different stages:
- Genesis: New, poorly understood, high potential.
- Custom-Built: Better understood, tailored for specific use cases.
- Product (+Rental): Standardised, widely available.
- Commodity (+Utility): Ubiquitous, little differentiation.
Understanding a component's position on the Evolution Axis informs strategic decisions about investment, build vs. buy, innovation focus, and talent management.
The Strategy Cycle
The Strategy Cycle is an iterative process that guides organisations in developing and refining their business strategy. It consists of five key phases:
- Purpose and Vision: Define the overarching objectives and aspirations.
- Landscape: Map out the current competitive environment.
- Climate: Understand external forces and trends influencing the landscape.
- Doctrine: Establish universal principles and best practices for decision-making.
- Leadership: Translate strategy into action and adapt to changes.
The Four Phases of Doctrine Implementation
Wardley Mapping Doctrine is implemented through four distinct phases:
Phase I: Stop Self-Harm
This phase focuses on establishing basic awareness and stabilisation within the organisation.
- Communication: Establish a common language, challenge assumptions, and improve situational awareness.
- Development: Know your users, focus on user needs, remove bias and duplication, and use appropriate methods.
- Operation: Know the details of operations.
- Learning: Implement systematic learning mechanisms with a bias towards data.
Example Actions:
