X : Is mapping just about things?
Me : Mapping hasn't been about things for well over a decade. You can map activities, practices, data and knowledge. Just use the cheat sheet (below) as your guide. More than that ..

... you can mix and match the labels, they're just labels for stage I to IV of evolution (i.e. the common charactertistics). Hence I tend to use the following labels when mapping values (i.e. beliefs) ...
... hence you can map out the beliefs of a collective including its rules (constituion, laws) and most importantly the components that they are built upon ...
Of course, we can zoom out further ... you do this by compressing that map into a pipeline of evolving values and then ...
... we can map out culture itself which consists of many pipelines along with discrete components. It's that mix of complicated and complex which means most people can't describe culture with words. Ask Anthropologists, they've been trying and failing for over a century.
... so yes, you can map out activities, practices, data, knowledgte and values all onto a single map. I tend to stick with labelling the axis as genesis -> custom -> product -> commodity because it's more descriptive than stage I, stage II, stage III etc.
X : Why seperate column 2 and 3 ... is there some benefit?
Me : It's not about benefit, it's what the original analysis of 9k+ publications showed (not that I'm counting). Four statistically different stages. Not three, not two, not six, not five but four.

X : Why four?
Me : Meh? No idea. That's what the data showed. Hence I've used four for the last 15 years and it seems okay.
X : But pioneer - settler - town planner is three?
Me : Yes, they overlap the different stages and themselves.
X : How?

X : But pioneer - settler - town planner is three?
Me : Yes, they overlap the different stages and themselves.
X : How?
Me : Like this ... roughly.
X : How confident are you that PST is right?
Me : Well, it's more a statement of "don't organise by two" because that definitely doesn't work. I've found PST to be pretty useful, if you get your doctrine sorted but if you're going to say could it be "four"? Maybe. Never tried it.

Me : That's one of the things about mapping, I don't recommend anything that I haven't tried myself and grown confident with. So PST ... yep, as long as you get your doctrine sorted ... more complicated than PST ... hmmm, don't know.
X : Doctrine?
Me : Yep. Get good at all this stuff FIRST before embarking on some major re-org. Leave the major re-org out in the cold, freezing the balls off a whole bunch of management consultants ... old Navy myth ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_mon…
