PROCESS MAP

Pathway Mapping — Phase 0

The framing phase of a learning-pathway initiative: scope, sequence, ownership boundaries, and the questions each later phase must answer.

The problem

Learning was being produced across several functions with no shared view of who owned which pathway, where they overlapped, and where they simply stopped.

What I designed

Establish a phase-zero frame first: define the terrain, name the decisions each phase must produce, and sequence stakeholders before any mapping begins.

Organizational Learning Pathways

A connected set of analysis and design artifacts used to map how learning actually moves through an organization: phased pathway topology, discovery design, the question architecture behind it, and the department-function map it produced.
