Some changes we choose.
Other changes choose us.

Up to now, people have only been able to learn how to cope with significant change in their lives from the limited experience of those around us. So instead...

  • imagine you could share your story of change with anyone in the world undergoing a similar change...
  • imagine you could learn from anyone in the world undergoing a similar change...
  • imagine people, families and communities could not only discover how best to live through change, but could also support others in a similar situation anywhere in the world...   

Welcome to LifeMap Research

We use the power of the internet to help people tell and share their stories of change. Then we use algorithms to make 'maps' of their change experiences. 

Our maps help people, families and communities to find the best way forward and reach more positive outcomes from change, more quickly.                        

We make the resulting knowledge and insight about change accessible, available and useful to people in all walks of life and all over the world.

LifeMap Research was founded by Warren Parry, author of Big Change, Best Path and a pioneer in the use of empirical research and modelling to help people manage change more successfully.

Warren invented Change Tracking, a patented system of predictive analytics, now used by Accenture in more than 30 countries and in 20 languages in over 250 global organisations.

His use of data sets and advanced mathematical algorithms exploded many of the myths surrounding organisational change.  

Now Warren is bringing his unique understanding of change, data analysis and mapping to help people understand and navigate the major changes in our lives, families and communities.

Like Google Maps, LifeMapping has a simple user-interface with sophisticated analytics in the background.

We make ‘maps’ of peoples' experiences, relationships and actions to find out what really makes a difference at significant points of change in all our lives.

Our maps mean you can find people, families and communities who have experienced a similar situation to you, stand in their shoes and learn from their experience. With access to the 'wisdom' of others, you can make more informed choices and find the best way forward.  

LifeMapping can be used by communities, charities, NGOs, government and local agencies and special interest groups to reach more positive outcomes from change, more quickly.

LifeMapping helps you explore your situation, gain insight and be clear about the actions to take.

Bringing an analytical approach, we work alongside communities to make change happen.

We engage with community leaders and collect people's stories from across the community to gain a deeper understanding of what really matters when navigating change and why it matters. 

With insight from our analysis of community stories, leaders see how and where they can take action to manage change more effectively.

LifeMap Research has research collaborations with research partners, universities, government science groups and global consulting companies.

We work collaboratively with Accenture, undertaking research to discover insights that can help leaders more effectively manage their people through change.

We undertake research with wellbeing experts, Robertson Cooper to develop applications that can help build greater health and well-being for individuals, couples, families, friends, work groups, sports groups, religious groups, social and professional networks, as well as wider communities.   www.robertsoncooper.com

We help everyone share and
learn from their stories of change.

We work with community leaders and individuals to build the capacity for change into the centre of people’s lives.           Get involved and see the difference we can make.
