What Is Strategy Mapping?

What Is Strategy Mapping?
Strategy mapping is a visual technique used to define, communicate, and manage an organization’s strategic objectives. It helps translate broad strategic goals into actionable steps and illustrates how various elements of the strategy are interconnected.

How to Create a Strategy Map?

  1. Start with a template or blank canvas

Open a new workspace in Creately’s strategy map software and choose from ready-made strategy map templates or begin with a blank canvas. Templates give you a quick structure, while a blank canvas offers full flexibility.

  1. Define your strategic objectives

Drag and drop shapes onto the canvas with Creately’s Plus Create feature to add your objectives. Organize them under perspectives like financial, customer, internal processes, or learning and growth so your map is structured and easy to follow.

  1. Map cause-and-effect relationships

Use connectors to draw arrows that show how objectives influence one another. For example, link “employee training” under learning and growth to “improved customer service” under customer perspective. Label relationships to make the connections clear.

  1. Add KPIs and initiatives

Next to each objective, add KPIs or performance measures to track progress. Then, use sticky notes or linked cards to add initiatives—specific projects or actions that support each objective, such as a new training program or product improvement.

  1. Customize, collaborate, and share

Style your map with custom colors, fonts, and themes to match your brand. Invite teammates to collaborate in real time with live cursors and in-canvas comments. Once finalized, share your strategy map via secure link, or export it as a PDF, PNG, or embed it in Docs, Slides, or your intranet.
