Crystal Maps
for business help you focus all your effort on achieving your vision. Having a unifying goal setting tool, that pulls everything together
into one, clear Bigger Picture, without losing the detail, will help transform objective setting and managing performance.
Business is more complex than ever before but it needn't be complicated. Your vision for your business will always be at the heart of what you do.
Everything else is subsidiary to achieving that vision.
That's what Crystal Mapping helps you to do. And..., it is really simple to set up and use.
From project planning to presenting a cohesive team centred vision and strategy, crystal maps help get your point across with clarity, unity
and elegance.
Setting goals is the prime application of Crystal Mapping, but it can help in many other areas. Take a look at the carousel below to see a few examples of what you can do. Then scroll down the page to read about applications in more detail.
Great leaders communicate their vision and their objectives in ways
that people can see.They paint mental pictures of what success looks like, show others the destination and set the goals they need to attain it.
Similarly they show their
team how everything fits together to form a coherent whole. Setting the vision, goals and objectives is a core requirement of
leadership. crystal Mapping gives you the tools to achieve this; from initial communication to performance tracking thereafter. And, most importantly,
everyone can always see a direct line sight to the overall purpose and vision - The Bigger Picture.

The best project managers combine the science of how to manage a project
with the art of communication. They inform everyone of The Purpose of the project, its Key Deliverables,
how it will be Measured and what the Benefits will be, to those directly
affected and to the wider stakeholder network. They ensure everyone involved, both directly and indirectly, knows what's happening, why and when.
This gets the essential support, agreement and commitment you need
to undertake and deliver a successful project. Good communication upfront and continuously throughtout the project can make the difference between success and failure.
All project management involves change and getting people to do something differently needs careful consideration.
It is no longer enough to say "This is what we are going to do". You have to tell people "why' you're doing it and how it will effect their work and lives.
A good project manager is a good leader and needs to spend time communicating as well as planning
and getting things done.
Using a crystal map will help you plan the project in all its detail but without losing sight of the bigger picture context.
It enables you to collaborate with team members and acts as a central comprehensive plan of the methodolgy, objectives and key milestones of the project.
You can integrate Crystal Project Maps with other project management programs and tools (such as Microsoft Project and other Gantt chart programs)
to provide a complete solution to your project planning, communication and management needs.
A Crystal Project map will enable to show people where you are going, how you are going to get there, why
you need to get there and what the outcomes will be for the good of all.
You need a map to direct you as you take the first step on the journey.
