It’s a fact that businesses need the ability to adapt and change with the environment.
Maybe you’ve repositioned yourself or rebranded to suit more needs. Perhaps you’re facing more challenges and slower growth than expected, or you need some guidance on the future of your business.
Whatever the reason, strategic mapping can help you solve it.
What is Strategic Mapping?
Strategic Mapping is a deep dive into your business that helps you visualize your goals and the steps you need to make them a reality.
Despite what you may have heard, strategic mapping isn’t only for the beginning of the year. It’s also useful when you’re feeling lost, confused, disorganized, or unsure of the future. There’s never a “right time” to utilize strategic mapping- it’s available whenever you need it.
The Benefits of Strategic Mapping
If I outlined all the benefits of strategic mapping, we’d be here all day. Instead, here are my top five benefits that can enhance your business and take it to the next level.
Offers a space to braindump and prioritize ideas
With strategic mapping, you can bring all your ideas into the open. Lay them out and evaluate, prioritize, and implement the ones that will bring you closer to your overall goals.
And, if you don’t have any clear goals yet, strategic mapping can help you find them and implement them into your business plan.
Provides a clear picture of the future months
Just like the maps of the road, strategic mapping can outline your path and give you a clear directive for the next few months.
So, where are you now? Where would you like to go? Follow the plan, and you’ll be there in no time.
Creates a step-by-step guide for accomplishing your goals
Goals come in all shapes and sizes, and there’s never a “one-size-fits-all” strategy for accomplishing them (believe me, I’ve looked).
A strategic mapping session can create custom, step-by-step guides for reaching your goals and upgrading your business.
For example, let’s say you’re trying to launch a new program. You’d like it to be ready to launch in three months, but the tasks involved are overwhelming.
By mapping it out, you can break down those tasks into bite-sized pieces and see every aspect needed to launch your course, build a website, generate an offer- whatever.
Allows your team to be on the same page and share your vision
Your team is a vital part of your business, so it’s only natural that your strategic mapping includes them.
Show the new plan, explain your goals, announce any new or modified roles, and make sure everyone’s on the same page.
That way, you can eliminate miscommunication, strengthen bonds, and make your team feel more involved in your business.
Presents the opportunity to get an expert opinion/ another set of eyes on your business
While you can tackle strategic mapping alone, it’s better to do it with a specialist.
Not only will they offer an expert opinion on the organization and functionality of your business, but they can also offer an outside perspective.
Think about it- you’ve looked at your business a hundred different ways, and you know everything there is to know. A fresh set of eyes can point out the cracks and flaws that often get buried in the constant reviewing and nitpicking.
Personally, I love strategic mapping. It’s one of my specialties, and I enjoy helping businesses find their goals, align their thoughts, and organize their future.

BONUS: Strategic Mapping allows you to be PROACTIVE instead of REACTIVE
If you have a detailed plan for the future, you can anticipate different challenges and how to handle them.
Obviously, it won’t always work, but having some measure of proactivity is better than reacting after the fact.
What’s Next?
Strategic mapping is one of my favorite ways to clean up a business, and it can be beneficial at any point in your career. Use it to solidify your goals, align your team, work more efficiently, and pave the way for a brighter future.
