Background on Metaphor Mapping

While new to the broader market, Metaphor Language has been in use since the 1980′s. Our first two languages were initially marketed under the brand Mission Mapping and have been applied in more than 20 countries by Newbase International and more than a dozen other consulting firms.

Client enthusiasm is always high and workshops have met their objectives when addressing even the most complex tasks in the most complex organizational and difficult inter-personal situations. Users of metaphor languages have included businesses, UN agencies, governments, church groups and community groups.

Disciplines taking the client lead have included:

  • Corporate organization development
  • Trainers
  • Meeting facilitators
  • Quality and process improvement practitioners
  • Supply chain managers
  • Strategy Leads
  • Marketing managers
  • Operations managers.

All have been leaders seeking to align their groups and develop enthusiasm for overcoming their challenges. Most clients have held two or more workshops, a small number have held more than ten and one international company more than two dozen, as part of a global supply chain optimization.
