What is Wardley Mapping?

As a CEO of the startup Fotango, Simon Wardley needed to define a strategy, but none of the existing approaches led to satisfying results.

Determined to go beyond mediocrity, he developed a framework designed to enhance his situational awareness and improve decision-making.

This framework, now known as Wardley Mapping, has organically gained widespread popularity.

Today, leaders across various industries use Wardley Mapping to build strategies and outsmart competition.
