Jeff,
Thank you. Your video description [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxS5wUljfjE] is very helpful to me in making a distinction between a powerful anthropological approach for supporting group dialogue versus more structured, designed interventions.
Can you comment on the pathway that a mapper needs to follow to develop a level of skill to assure value to the dialogue group? Do mappers work in teams? I can imaging the as dialogue gets into an accelerated pace, the job of tracking the comments, the root questions (implicit and explicit), the pros and the cons ... can get very challenging.
Also, can you comment on the evolution of a dialogue map as a dialogue pacing instrument to allow groups to be reflective even as they are being generative?
Cheers
