How can I use maps to run an effective workshop?

Using maps to facilitate workshops

Start with a prepared map structure that guides session flow: introduction, breakout topics, synthesis, and next steps. Use collaborative editing during live sessions to capture group outputs and display real-time progress. Assign facilitators to manage each branch during breakouts.

Workshop plan tips:

• Prepare templates for breakout groups.
• Use color codes to distinguish groups’ contributions.
• Capture decisions and actions in a dedicated section.
• Export results immediately for follow-up.

This keeps workshops focused, creates a shared artifact, and simplifies post-workshop action planning.
