However, reality will be that to customers blends into each other: difference in their eyes being translated on mass to the market as a whole. It’s of paramount importance for a company’s CEOs and board of directors to realistically analyse their products and service and to determine (honestly) where they fall upon a map of industry movers and shakers.
The professionally designed PMS Map for PowerPoint template diagram is the perfect way for you to present this kind of information to your CEOs or board of directors – it’s even a great tool to use if you’re only teaching a set CEOs or board of directors about PMS maps.

A: The map turns an abstract innovation discussion into a spatial comparison. Rows show value innovation levels, while the Today and Tomorrow axis shows movement over time.
