Episode 29: Constellation Mapping – Connecting Ideas into Shared Direction

When ideas are flying in all directions, it can feel like looking at a night sky full of stars, beautiful but scattered. 

In this episode, I introduce Constellation Mapping, a visual strategy for gathering, clustering and connecting ideas so your team, class, or group can see patterns, choose a guiding “North Star,” and move forward together.

You’ll hear how to use this approach, discover the origins of the KJ Method by Jiro Kawakita, and learn a simple 5-step process you can apply right away, whether you’re in a boardroom, classroom, or creative space.

🎯 What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • What the KJ Method is and how it works
  • How to connect ideas into constellations
  • The 5 steps of Constellation Mapping
  • Why this method is inclusive, visual, and effective

We all need a rethink once in a while, so why not start today?
