About Wardley Mapping

Wardley Mapping plots a value chain on a two-axis map (visibility vs evolutionary stage) to reveal build/buy/outsource decisions and strategic positioning opportunities.

Every component evolves from Genesis to Commodity over time — rightward movement is inevitable
Build components in Genesis (differentiators); buy or outsource commodities
Identify where disruption will come from by spotting commoditising components
Inertia — resistance to change from past success — is the biggest strategic risk
