Understanding how open collaboration works.
Step 1.
I publish a list of universally useful principles (called doctrine) that I developed by mapping. It was organised by categories.

People kept asking which should be done first? Using mapping i.e. finding what principles depended upon what, I published a best guess organised into phases.

All of this happened through people with a shared view of improving principles in organisations contributing to each other.

Mapping (i.e. understanding your landscape) is just part of the strategy cycle.
One of the essential elements is the speed at which you loop around it
And yes, open approaches do help you move quickly regardless of what collective you are - from nation to company

... and because open approaches encourage demand and supply side competition, they tend to accelerate how quickly something evolves.
Which is why in my map of mapping, I deliberately took an open approach.

I'll make no bones about my intention because as far as I'm concerned, it is only a question of time until the mapping community moves faster than any consultancy or other collective. The community should outstrip everyone and democratise this whole strategy space.
I've seen early signals of this in the Open Security Summit, in Government and even in customers using maps to challenge vendors and consultancy firms.

However, it is a long road. We're 15 years into a 30 to 50 year journey before mapping starts becoming industrialised which in turn will take another 10-15 years.
Chances are I won't see that play-out but hopefully I'll get to watch the start.
