Pathway FAQs

What are the classic uses of the Pathway model?

We use the model to engage people in organizational and civic contexts who work together to make larger impacts. These could be in small or large gatherings, in any kind of planning, or any scopes of projects.

How long does it take people to learn the model?

It generally takes groups 90 minutes to work through the 4 conversations of the model and after that they can use it for every iteration in their work together.

What are the origins of the model?

The model initially came out of the research for “Collaborative Creativity” (1996 Jack Ricchiuto) and its latest version is featured in “Flawless Planning” (2024 Jack Ricchiuto) and co-developed by Jack and Jane Rogan.

How is it distinct from other collaborative engagement models?

It is question-based rather than assumption-based, with a bias for action over discussion, and is designed to keep groups continuously aligned and productive with zero chance of people dominating, disappearing, or derailing.

Is it a scalable model?

It is uniquely scalable because new people are regularly invited to join work groups and their onboarding is seamless because the model is experientially learned.
