What Do You Use a 9Grid™ For?
The 9Grid™ is incredibly versatile and can be used for various purposes, including:
Strategic Planning: Breaking down long-term goals into actionable steps.
Project Management: Organizing tasks and timelines.
Problem Solving: Visualizing potential solutions and their impacts.
Creative Brainstorming: Capturing and organizing ideas.
How to Use a 9Grid™
There are three primary ways to use a 9Grid™: as a storyboard, a step-by-step guide, or a mind map.
As a Storyboard
A storyboard approach with the 9Grid™ helps you visually map out a sequence of events or actions, ideal for planning narratives, marketing campaigns, or customer journeys.
How to do it: Start by placing the main idea or objective in the center box. Use the surrounding boxes to outline the sequence of steps or scenes, detailing each stage of the process.
Example: Planning a marketing campaign. The center box could represent the campaign goal, while the surrounding boxes could detail stages like target audience, key messages, promotional tactics, and timeline.
As a Step-by-Step Guide
The step-by-step approach is perfect for outlining processes, procedures, or instructional guides, breaking down tasks into clear, actionable steps.
How to do it: Place the final objective in the center box. Use the surrounding boxes to outline each step required to achieve the goal, ensuring a logical progression from start to finish.
Example: Launching a new product. The center box represents the product launch. Surrounding boxes include steps like market research, product development, marketing strategy, sales training, and post-launch review.
As a Mind Map
Using the 9Grid™ as a mind map helps in brainstorming and exploring ideas related to a central theme, promoting creative thinking and problem-solving.
How to do it: Put the central theme or problem in the center box. Use the surrounding boxes to branch out into related ideas, subtopics, or potential solutions, creating a web of interconnected thoughts.
Example: Developing a new service offering. The center box contains the core concept of the new service. Surrounding boxes explore different aspects like target market, service features, competitive analysis, marketing strategies, and potential challenges.
The 9Grid™ is a flexible and dynamic tool that can transform how you plan, manage, and execute ideas. By breaking down complex concepts into smaller, actionable parts, it helps bring clarity and focus to your goals and projects.
