ROADMAPPING

How does roadmapping speed market-making?


We develop a series of wall-mounted posters with clients and market stakeholders. When published widely, these roadmaps speed the development of shared mental maps and vocabularies about a new technology or disruptive innovation.

The process of roadmapping creates laser-like focus within a market development team, prioritizing what the team must accomplish first before traditional marketing communications and business development techniques will work.

Technology adoption roadmaps rationalize product portfolios within a new deployment framework or paradigm, showing how buyers at relative stages of operational deployment maturity should consider the integration of new products.

Evolutionary solutions roadmaps depict a progression of increasingly integrated business or process solutions, calling attention to the logical next-step solution to buy.

Large systems deployment roadmaps depict the major phases of a three-year deployment process of enterprise-wide systems, helping large, dynamic organizations stay on track.

Consultant projects roadmaps break down large, complex projects (large systems deployments) into 40 to 50 small projects, framing the contributions of independent consultants.

In all cases, the wall-mounted posters from GISTICS become persistent messaging frameworks for a new and complex value proposition. These posters help create the concept market that precedes the primary market.
