Choice Mapping – Your AI-Enhanced Innovation Partner

The most successful innovators don’t just rely on instinct—they seek out structured guidance from the world’s best problem-solvers, past and present. Choice Mapping, developed by Sheena Iyengar, is an AI-powered tool designed to replace unstructured brainstorming with a strategic, interactive approach to decision-making. Unlike other AI tools that generate random suggestions, Choice Mapping guides participants through a step-by-step process, surfacing insights from industry leaders, competitors, global business strategies, and even historical problem-solving methods—showing how groundbreaking thinkers from different eras tackled similar challenges. By offering a 5x5 grid of curated, relevant strategies, this tool makes it easier to compare solutions and choose the best path forward. Integrated into the Think Bigger program, Choice Mapping provides an unparalleled approach to problem-solving, with access continuing for a limited time after the program.
