About Creating Strategy Maps

Create a background image in a graphics editor such as Adobe Photoshop. See Creating the Background.

The image must contain boxes (placeholders) that represent the strategy elements and perspectives you will use on the map. It must also contain lines or arrows that indicate relationships between strategy elements.

Import the background image. See Creating the Background.

Build the map by placing the strategy elements, strategic themes, and perspective in placeholders on the background image. See Adding Strategy Elements.
