The Detour: Putting Your Audience Journey on The Map
As Innovators, we know that understanding our audience and their experiences is key to our success. However, it can be easy to focus too narrowly on a slice of that experience at the expense of understanding the full picture. Users may have many steps before, and after, we meet them that will greatly influence how they interact with our own products or services. This leaves so much opportunity on the table.
The Detour has asked Jon Eggleton, Co-Founder of Traktion Partners, to help us use Journey Mapping for a complete picture of our audience's end-to-end experience. At Traktion, Jon and his team work with clients in the Healthcare Industry to map complex patient journeys, which serves to both improve their patient experiences while providing greater visibility internally. He will be sharing how this process can unlock new ways to serve and communicate with users, regardless of your industry. Here is what we promise:

You've just read an article about the latest viral trend or your favorite podcaster just laid out their new strategic framework or you just got a strong piece of feedback from a customer you have never heard before. What are you going to do about that? Should you do anything about that? Don't you have enough to do already? Is it lunch time yet?
The Detour has asked Tommy Pearce, Executive Director of Neighborhood Nexus, to help us build a system to cut through the noise of fads and "data" and determine what insights are actually important an actionable. Here is what we promise:
- Clarity: You will leave The Detour with at least one clear action step you can take to be an insight driven leader
- Community: You will meet and have meaningful conversations with innovative leaders like you to learn from and lean on each other
The Detour will kick off 5/15, from 9-10:30am (coffee and snacks included) at The Hatchery. If you are ready to lead with greater clarity, click here to RSVP.

Have you ever had to make a decision when you weren't 100% sure you were right? What about a decision where you wondered if you were even the right person to make the decision? Many of us have had moments that have been outside our comfort zone and shaken our confidence. This is all the more true for change leaders because there are not maps to where we are going. And yet, we have to make decisions anyway.
That's why The Detour has asked Amari Morton, Founder of Great Change Health, to explore ways to develop our confidence as leaders. Greater Change Health works with individuals, families, and organizations to offer on-demand and accessible therapy services. As a Founder and leader in the mental health space, Amari is well-equipped to facilitate us on a journey to maintain the confidence we need to lead effectively. Here is what we promise:
- Clarity: You will leave The Detour with at least one clear action step you can take to lead with more confidence
- Community: You will meet and ha…
