Relating to everything that has to happen to get a project underway - before there is something meaningful to look at. If a map doesn't yet exist for a specific group, and you want the group to make one - you're envisioning. You wear the 'Visionary Hat'. Your imagination is engaged with what could exist, but you can't make it happen on your own - because Social System Mapping is an inherently collaborative process.

Therefore you need to get others on board - and we have some ideas that will help you in getting that to happen. This forum is for discussions related to getting started at the conceptual, social, purpose level (it's not about setting up you technical tools - you can find that in 'Mapping")
