Harvest the data and facilitate better group discussions and deliberations.

  • I used GroupMap at a dairy leaders summit in Melbourne yesterday to identify BIG ideas for participants to implement across 4 topics. Went really well with good discussion and quick reporting - a saviour as we had a ‘non-negotiable’ deadline to work toward.

  • I work for Cisco Corp Development group in Cisco. The meeting that I facilitated is from up my chain of command. Every executive in the meeting thought it was super easy and slick. It allowed the team to vote together, across geographies/location, and instantaneously see the results... And helped us to quickly move to pick top themes, gain owners (without the ego and debate).

  • We have used GroupMap to replace parts of our scenario planning workshops to get things done without travelling. This is not only true for internal projects, but also for projects with clients from all over the world. The interface is easy to use and highly responsive. We estimate a 20% saving in costs and our clients find it easy and effective to use.

  • GroupMap’s ability to connect people from various locations and watch ideas being added to the mind map in real-time was what convinced us that GroupMap was the best option.

  • Ease of use, and the opportunity to use [Groupmap] asynchronously over a longer period of time – so people could either contribute during a teleconference or in the week after if they couldn’t make it – were benefits we all appreciated from using GroupMap for our online brainstorming.

    Jan Geissler CEO, Patcovates
  • [GroupMap] supported our business success in the 2020 shift. Without it, we’d be in a very different place. As a result, our clients continue to experience success and high levels of engagement, despite working remotely. We’ve heard from multiple clients that the meetings we use this tool in, ‘are the most productive online meetings this team has ever had.'

Not just another Zoom or MSTeams Meeting

A safe space for everyone to share ideas

Trusted by banks, governments and universities through to professional facilitators, GroupMap uses 256-bit TLS security and meets GDPR And privacy laws to keep you, your data and your team members safe.

Group ideas to synthesize thinking for discussion

Find common themes and groupings for ideas. Discuss, synthesize and pull all similar ideas into a group. Decide between facilitator only or audience based grouping.

Create action items linked to ideas

One of the biggest complaints from team meetings or workshops is feeling like there were no take away actions. GroupMap has an optional action step that allows you to capture key action points against ideas that can be assigned a target date and owner.  Export and share the report or take action items into a new map for further discussion. 

Manage bias and group think

Make ideas anonymous to encourage more honest or creative responses. Use individual brainstorming mode to manage social loafing and anchoring. All our voting and rating stages are done independently before results are revealed so that they are free from influence.

Poll or survey your teams

There is no need to switch tools or applications. Capture a quick thought, run a check in / check out, poll your team for a health check or feedback for new initiatives or projects.  Get even more engagement and insights easily.

Control the tech and focus the conversation

We believe that conversations and connections are key. GroupMap lets you lock the map, hide views or prevent further changes allowing you to “turn off the tech” and turn on the talk. When you are ready, bring everyone back to capture highlights. You can even use directed brainstorming to create a central capture point.

Enterprise-grade security

We use 256 SSL just like the banks. Your data, privacy and content is kept safe, and backed up.  SSO options are available for organisations. 

Link to video conference

A secure link or code can be shared on your video conference, Zoom or Skype meeting or presentation to get your team members working on the same page instantly. 

Re-usable, repeatable templates

You can save your maps or workspaces as templates to be reused for team processes or meetings. No time? Use one of our 80+ templates to get your started.

Choose anonymity settings

Make maps anonymous to get honest answers, partially anonymous so that you can see who said what but other team members can’t, or not anonymous so that names are shown against each idea.

Synchronous or asynchronous

Open up the process flow or manage brainstorming, team meetings and workshops with remote teams through stages. The choice is yours.
