About GroupMap
The effective way to brainstorm, discuss and decide
You’ve probably encountered the usual issues of group decision making. People who dominate the conversation, quiet folks whose ideas never get heard, and of course all those post-it notes you have to write up. GroupMap solves this by capturing individual thinking first, then revealing the group perspective, all in real-time. Now that’s true collaborative decision making.
Design your activity
Start from over 60 brainstorming templates, or design your own. Our templates include SWOT, 6 Thinking Hats, Perceptual Maps, Stakeholder Maps, Risk Maps, Mind Maps, the Lean Business Canvas and many others…
Customize your process
GroupMap is very flexible so you can build maps around your own process. We keep the interface simple so you can focus on brainstorming solutions. We provide you the basic process steps – brainstorming, grouping, positioning, voting, rating, actioning, survey and consent – you can customize and organize them how you’d like.
