On October 23 in San Francisco I will be presenting the story of RE-AMP (Renewable Energy Alignment Mapping Project) to the Organizational Development Network. This is an initiative of 48 non-government organizations and 8 foundations collaborating to have their region, the upper Midwest, become a leader in clean energy in the electric sector. I facilitated four parallel strategic planning efforts in early 2005, and now the implementation phases of this ambitious project.

In the ODN presentation I will use a case study format to examine the facilitative strategies, virtual organization, communications structures and learning arising from the RE-AMP project.

I found this original graphic of National Semiconductor’s strategic vision in my files and was prompted to tune up the extensive case study of how The Grove successfully used large-scale graphics to deploy the NSC vision worldwide over four years in the early 1990s. It is the most extensive application of Grove Storymapping™ to date, and the success model for much of our current work. Check out the National Semiconductor case study at The Grove’s website for further background.
