A language tells you what things are called. It does not tell you what to draw first, what to draw next, or which map to put in front of which stakeholder. So the model stays a mental model, the workshop produces a diagram nobody reuses, and six weeks later the initiative is back to slides.

This is not a comprehension problem. It is a practice problem.

In this session, Jean-Sébastien shares the seven core maps developed across every project since the EDGY beta: what each one is for, the order they come in, and how they connect into one coherent design initiative. Each map is shown in use, with the custom variants that let specialists work in their own idiom without leaving the shared model.

You will leave with:

• the seven core maps, what each answers and when to reach for it
• the sequence that connects them, so one map feeds the next instead of standing alone
• a facilitation pattern for co-creating each map with mixed stakeholder groups
• how a specialist plugs their own method into the set without abandoning it

Live only: bring an initiative you are working on. We pick two and decide together which of the seven maps you should draw first.
