A COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK FOR PLANNING MEANINGFUL IMPACT, BREAKING DOWN SILOS,
ELEVATING ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE, AND FOSTERING EQUITABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES





In a world undergoing rapid transformation, where the tectonic plates of
technology, society, and economics shift beneath our feet, one truth emerges:
businesses that stay rooted in old paradigms will crumble. 

We are caught in the currents of the Longwave business cycle, a transformative
era that challenges every rule we thought we knew. Edwin Korver: ‘We stand not
just at a threshold but at a gateway to a future where the lines dividing
business sectors, stakeholders, and societal roles blur into a holistic
tapestry.’

Enter RoundMap®, a guide for this new world, conceived out of a simple yet
powerful question: ‘What if the division of labor, which has siloed us into
isolated units, could be transcended — and planning for impact could build
bridges helping businesses to achieve sustainable growth?’

We invite you to join us on an extraordinary journey. Picture yourself as a
ValueActor, a crucial player in a complex network of relationships or
ValueCircles. In a cycle of perpetual motion, you and your organization
contribute to a vibrant ecosystem through planned impact. A Symphony of
Strengths harmonizes as all members bring their unique contributions to the
table, bound together by shared values and purpose. Edwin Korver: ‘This is not
about a single virtuoso performance but a collective masterpiece, each note as
vital as the next.’

As we navigate together through uncharted territories, you’ll discover new
principles that redefine what it means to be a business in the 21st century. For
one, we’ll consider the Leadership Compass, consult the Panoptic of Business,
explore the Business Navigator, and embrace the Impact Model—each a landmark in
our quest to usher in an era of equitable, impact-driven organizations.

RoundMap® is more than just a framework; it’s the embodiment of a new
organizational philosophy oriented towards planned impact. Edwin Korver: ‘We’re
fostering not only businesses but equitable ecosystems where people find purpose
and belonging, all while contributing meaningfully to society at large.’

Join us in this transformational adventure as we collectively redefine what it
means to be a thriving, equitable, and impactful business in today’s
interconnected world.




ROUNDMAP® IS APPLIED WISDOM ACROSS WORLDS©




QUICK INTRODUCTION TO ROUNDMAP®

Framework Core Principles Application Instruments Implementation

The RoundMap® Unified Approach to Systemic Change is a robust and transformative
framework that meticulously addresses the multi-dimensional aspects of business
strategy, organizational development, and sustainable growth. It enlightens the
complexities of these components and bridges the gaps that hinder organizations
from realizing their full potential.

The Impact Model strengthens the framework as an essential piece emphasizing the
importance of designing for impact and measuring progress towards sustainability
objectives. This model motivates businesses to move beyond buzzwords, take
deliberate actions, and create a lasting positive difference, setting them apart
from competitors.

RoundMap® amplifies often overlooked phases of the customer lifecycle, such as
customer success, and introduces the concept of significance to underscore the
necessity of understanding and meeting future customer needs to nurture enduring
relationships.

The Business Model Matrix and the Business Navigator offer a comprehensive
bird’s eye view of existing and emerging business models, facilitating
non-linear growth. RoundMap® also promotes Consentricity, a revolutionary
approach to distributed leadership that moves away from traditional hierarchical
structures, fostering robust, equitable and adaptable organizations.

Recognizing that change is inherent and vital in the modern business landscape,
RoundMap® champions Positive Inquiry. This proactive stance encourages
businesses to explore untapped markets and create innovative value propositions,
aligning them with the concept of ‘blue oceans’. The focus is shifted from
competition-driven differentiation to the creation of innovative markets.

Storycasting becomes a pivotal tool within RoundMap®, transforming products and
concepts into captivating narratives. These stories guide their placement along
the Customer Dynamics Lifecycle, boosting organizational buy-in for change, and
sparking new market opportunities.

Enhanced by the Thinking Caps methodology and the Panoptic perspective,
RoundMap® is the epitome of a holistic business strategy. Meticulously crafted,
it navigates the intricate business landscape, guiding organizations towards
sustainable growth through adaptive strategies, shared leadership, effective
planning for impact, and compelling storytelling.

RoundMap™ is a versatile framework, meticulously crafted to encompass the vast
complexities of modern business landscapes. Rooted in carefully curated
principles, it enjoys immense applicability across diverse contexts and
effectively drives multifaceted growth and success.
 1. All-Round and Widely Applicable: RoundMap® encapsulates a 360-degree
    perspective, incorporating every facet of organizations into its
    comprehensive structure. Strategic decisions are derived from a complete
    understanding of the customer lifecycle, spanning from initial engagement to
    enduring satisfaction. Its one-size-fits-all approach remains
    uncompromising, catering to myriad businesses irrespective of their scale or
    industry.
 2. Impact-Conscious: RoundMap® places a significant emphasis on generating
    tangible impact. It encourages organizations to strategize, execute, and
    measure their business activities based on the real changes they hope to
    instigate. This impact orientation aids in creating meaningful differences
    in industries and society, aligning with modern consumers’ expectations.
 3. Value-First: Being deeply value-driven, RoundMap® stresses creating and
    delivering value as the main driving force. It evaluates business models and
    maps the entire value chain, aligning every organizational aspect towards
    catering to customer needs and objectives. The value-first approach further
    bolsters customer loyalty while attracting prospective clients.
 4. Human-Centric: By recognizing business success’s heart lies in establishing
    meaningful relationships, RoundMap® is deeply human-centric. It appreciates
    the roles of all stakeholders, from customers and employees to partners and
    investors, understanding that each contributes uniquely to the business’s
    growth and success.
 5. Story-Driven: RoundMap® understands that impactful narratives resonate more
    effectively than product-centric pitches, and hence champions storycasting.
    By connecting with audiences on an emotional level, it cultivates
    long-lasting relationships that extend far beyond business transactions.
 6. Consentric: RoundMap® employs Consentricity to underscore its ability to
    align all business elements in harmonious synchronization. Each concentric
    layer — from leadership roles to operational functions — reinforces others,
    fostering a cohesive and efficient organizational ecosystem.
 7. Distributive Leadership: RoundMap® adopts a forward-thinking stance towards
    leadership, endorsing a distributive model that juxtaposes traditional
    hierarchical structures. This paves the way for the distribution of
    decision-making responsibilities, fostering empowered and agile teams.
 8. Augmentative: RoundMap® harnesses advanced technology, such as AI and data
    analytics, to enhance the decision-making process and governance. This
    tech-friendly approach allows organizations to adapt to dynamic markets
    continually, standing resilient amidst profound market changes, while never
    swaying from its foundational principles.

In essence, RoundMap® is more than a framework – it’s a dynamic blueprint that
efficaciously navigates businesses through intricacies, all the while ensuring
sustained relevance and prosperity. The synergy of its robust principles allows
for exceptional adaptability, making it an invaluable tool for organizations
across the global business spectra.

The RoundMap® framework, a comprehensive and unified approach encompassing every
facet of business, from strategic planning to client interaction, is an
invaluable tool for organizations. RoundMap® guides strategic decision-making by
integrating customer insights, market analysis, and goal establishment. This
fosters a holistic understanding of business operations, cultivating
cross-functional collaboration, distributive leadership, and consent-based
decision-making. 

RoundMap’s Storycasting method ensures consistent and impactful messaging to
stakeholders, while its delineation of leadership roles and responsibilities
fuels leadership development and alignment with organizational goals.

Operational functions like marketing, sales, and customer service are
streamlined within the framework, enhancing operational efficiency. 

RoundMap® encompasses change management and innovation strategies, assisting
organizations in navigating transitions and uncovering growth opportunities. By
furnishing measurement metrics and key performance indicators aligned with
business goals, RoundMap® empowers organizations to monitor progress and enact
data-driven decisions. Its adaptive structure maintains relevance in dynamic
markets, while its role in fostering organizational alignment cultivates
collaboration and a shared sense of purpose across all organizational tiers. 

Ultimately, RoundMap® functions as a comprehensive roadmap, expertly guiding
organizations through strategic, operational, and communicative pursuits with
unwavering clarity and effectiveness.

Imagine navigating the intricate tapestry of modern business without a compass,
a map, or even a guiding star. That’s how most organizations operate today: in
fragmented silos, stumbling in the dark, detached from the holistic ecosystem
they’re part of. We’ve crafted a suite of instruments to illuminate your path
and orchestrate your journey toward an equitable, thriving future.

The Business Navigator is your strategic playbook, harmonizing all aspects of
your organization into a cohesive, value-driven narrative. Think of it as your
master score, where each department’s contributions are carefully arranged to
create a Symphony of Strengths that resounds throughout the marketplace and
society.

Our Customer Dynamics Lifecycle is the lifeblood pulsating through this
symphony. It doesn’t just map out customer interactions; it delves into the
emotional and transactional ebbs and flows, highlighting opportunities for
meaningful connections. Every touchpoint becomes a note in a larger melody,
elevating your brand and value proposition.

When challenges arise or transformations are needed, the Positive Inquiry Cycle
serves as your philosophical cornerstone. This isn’t problem-solving; it’s
possibility-enhancing. Inspired by the pioneering work in appreciative inquiry,
this cycle invites your entire team to participate in creating affirmative
visions of the future, grounded in your collective strengths and aspirations.

The Business Model Matrix acts as your navigational grid. Instead of boxing you
into a single business model, it presents an expansive landscape of
possibilities. This matrix encourages you to explore diverse revenue streams,
stakeholder engagements, and value creation pathways, ensuring that your
strategy is resilient, flexible, and aligned with your higher mission.

Finally, the Impact Model emphasizes the significance of planning for real,
meaningful transformation and progress toward sustainability objectives. This
model encourages organizations to strategize their business activities around
the tangible impact they aim to instigate. It is also a key aspect of
the Consentric Distributed Leadership Model, a leadership approach that aligns
all elements of a business in harmonious synchronization.

These instruments are not isolated tools but interconnected elements of the
RoundMap™ framework. They come together to form a comprehensive guide for any
organization aiming to navigate the complexities of the 21st-century business
landscape. A new paradigm awaits—let these instruments be your guide.

Embarking on the RoundMap® journey is akin to setting sail into uncharted
waters. It promises discoveries that can redefine your organization, but such a
voyage requires more than just intent; it demands precise navigation. Here’s
where the rubber meets the road: the implementation of RoundMap® is not a mere
‘project’ but a paradigm shift, a re-orchestration of your entire organization.

Phase One: Readiness Assessment
Before we hoist the sails, we assess the wind and currents—a thorough
organizational readiness check. Leveraging a combination of stakeholder
interviews, analytics, and readiness metrics, we ascertain how prepared your
organization is to break down silos and embrace new ways of thinking.

Phase Two: Harmonizing Instruments
Now, we introduce you to the core elements of RoundMap®—the Business Navigator,
Customer Dynamics Lifecycle, Positive Inquiry Cycle, and Business Model Matrix.
Teams are trained, and pilot projects are launched to facilitate a smooth
integration of these instruments into your organizational DNA.

Phase Three: The Ensemble
The Symphony of Strengths cannot exist without a harmonious ensemble. Here, we
align your departments and teams to act in concert, focused on value creation,
equity, and a higher purpose. We deploy tools like Value Circles to connect
disparate functions and foster an all-around, human-centric approach.

Phase Four: Mastering the Score
With your ensemble in place and your instruments attuned, you’ll be ready to
tackle complex compositions—enterprises, markets, and social ecosystems. We
revisit your Business Navigator, refining it to mirror the evolving dynamics
within your organization and the world.

Phase Five: A Living Symphony
RoundMap® isn’t a one-off performance but a living, evolving symphony. Regular
check-ins, adjustments and even course corrections keep the music flowing,
ensuring your organization remains resilient, innovative, and equitable in an
ever-changing landscape.

As you navigate through these phases, you’re not alone. Our coaches and
consultants act as your seasoned navigators, lending expertise, offering
critical feedback, and celebrating your milestones.

In implementing RoundMap®, you’re not just adopting a new strategy; you’re
heralding a new era of business—an era of equitability, interconnectedness, and
boundless potential. The voyage may be complex, but the rewards are
immeasurable.


THE FRAMEWORK




THE ALL-SEEING EYE: NAVIGATING THE PANOPTIC OF BUSINESS



One of the instruments we created is the RoundMap® Panoptic. By putting on
multiple Thinking Caps, you can obtain a panoptic view of your team, division,
or business situation (panoptic is derived from the Greek panoptēs, meaning
“all-seeing”).
