          is a newbie’s guide to mapping work-
        
        
          shops. The book was created in collabora-
        
        
          tion with The Performance Group in Oslo,
        
        
          a management consulting company. Some
        
        
          of the consultants at TPG have been using
        
        
          GIGA-mapping for a while, and the challenge
        
        
          of the project was to make Systems Oriented
        
        
          Design, and especially GIGA-mapping, acces-
        
        
          sible for the rest of the consultants at TPG.
        
        
          The result was a quick manual for dealing
        
        
          with complexity by visualising and commu-
        
        
          nicating, using different mapping techniques
        
        
          like GIGA-mapping.
