Techniques like big picture event storming are great for mapping out the business and visualising problems and opportunities, but that’s where progress can easily get stuck. How do you go from event storm to product and organizational improvements? My advice is to use Simon Wardley’s Strategy Cycle as the basis for your narrative.
