What Is a Strategic Group Map?

A strategic group map helps businesses visualize the competitive positions of industry rivals. Companies in the same strategic group share similar strategies, products, markets, or technologies. Mapping these groups lets you identify competitors, spot industry gaps, uncover untapped opportunities, and explore alternative paths to success. With Creately, you can create these maps quickly and visually, turning complex competitive data into clear, actionable insights.

How to Create a Strategic Group Map?

Set up your canvas:
Start with a blank canvas in Creately and define the axes for your strategic group map. Choose the variables you want to compare — like price vs quality, market reach vs innovation, or other competitive dimensions.
Plot your competitors:
Add shapes or icons for each competitor and place them on the canvas according to the chosen variables. Use drag-and-drop to adjust positions easily as your understanding evolves.
Group similar competitors:
Identify clusters of companies that share similar strategies or business models. Creately lets you group these visually and label them for clarity, making patterns easy to spot.
Add context and insights:
Enhance your map with notes, links, attachments, and color codes. Highlight opportunities, gaps, or alternative paths to success so your map communicates more than just positions.
Collaborate, share, and track actions:
Invite your team to collaborate in real time or asynchronously on the strategic group map online. Use comments, task lists, or Kanban boards to convert insights into action plans. Share the final map or export it for reports, presentations, and decision-making.
