This workshop turns scattered ideas into a map of relationships, gaps, and assumptions. Bridge wants people to find materials without depending on individual support.

Steps

  1. Place the challenge at the centre.
  2. Create branches for people, moments, information, channels, and constraints.
  3. Separate observed questions from possible explanations.
  4. Add brainstorming ideas and link them to needs.
  5. Mark what is unknown and form a hypothesis.
Materials before the workshop
├── People: new attendees, facilitators
├── Moments: confirmation, day before, start
├── Information: list, link, requirements
├── Channels: email, page, message
└── Constraints: clarity, accessibility, permissions

Suggested answer

The map may show too many links and no clear essential resource. Hypothesis: a short page of essential resources linked from confirmation will reduce uncertainty. Test a mock-up, not a general change.

Common mistakes

  • Filling the map with detail before defining branches.
  • Presenting a hypothesis as fact.
  • Using the map instead of speaking with affected people.

Conclusion

The mind map turns ideas into a clear hypothesis. The next workshop uses SCAMPER to redesign an existing solution.
