What people say

GroupMap has fundamentally changed the way we do business. As a facilitation consultancy that spent the last 20 years on butchers’ paper, GroupMap has met a real need for ourselves and our clients. Plus it’s made us review and refresh the way we facilitate workshops.
Will BessenTuna Blue Facilitation
Workshop facilitators were able to customize how the audience interacted with GroupMap (in this case mainly through voting on the most important ideas and issues) leading to a more effective and focused discussion. Having a real-time brainstorming tool allowed people to share their ideas and to have this captured in real-time.

While Zoom provides the personal break out rooms, GroupMap serves as the house in which to store our real-time thinking, ideas, and next steps.
Tim MerryThe Outside

Client stories: GroupMap in action

Frequently asked questions

Can GroupMap run remote workshops?

Yes. GroupMap is a digital facilitation tool built for online, real-time collaboration. Participants join from their own device, brainstorm and vote together, and everyone sees the results as they build.

What is the best way to run an interactive workshop online?

Use a structured template so participants brainstorm, group, and prioritize ideas together. GroupMap keeps everyone engaged by letting all attendees add input at once rather than waiting their turn.

How do you facilitate a workshop with a large group?

Scale up with independent voting, rating, and scoring so every voice counts without the session becoming chaotic. You can group maps by table, day, or facilitator and consolidate them into one overall view.

Can two facilitators run a workshop together in GroupMap?

Yes. Invite co-facilitators to share the workload and guide more focused discussions, which is useful for larger workshops or parallel breakout sessions.

How do you turn workshop discussion into action items?

GroupMap has an optional action step that captures key actions against ideas, each with an owner and a due date. Export and share the report so the workshop ends with clear next steps, not just notes.
