See your leadership bench against the market
Your HR system knows your people. MapX knows the market. Plan succession, organisation design and critical roles with an outside view of competitors, roles and careers, run by your team with 6 Group's experts on hand.
THE PROBLEM
Planning only from your own people repeats the past
Internal data can't show how competitors build their teams, which leadership roles are emerging, or what the leaders appointed elsewhere had done by the time they got the job. Consultancies can, but slowly, at a high price, and only once.
Leadership talent intelligence closes that gap. Your HR system keeps the internal depth it already has, and MapX adds a structured, repeatable view of the external market: competitors, roles and careers, classified the same way across 22 million senior leaders.
Look out, not just in
Internal depth, external perspective
Your HR system knows your people. MapX knows the market. Most talent decisions need both, and today the outside view is the one that is missing or slow.

Questions teams ask
The four we hear most often from HR and talent teams.
Do we need to share HR data?
No. MapX supplies the external view. You choose how much internal context to add, if any, and it stays with your team.
Which questions can it answer?
Succession, organisation design, competitor structures, title levelling, location and workforce planning, all from the same classified data.
Is it a consultancy?
No. It’s software your team uses, with 6 Group’s experts on hand when you want guidance or want the work done for you.
How quickly do we get answers?
In days rather than weeks. Most benchmarks can be run the same week, and rerun whenever the question changes.
Who uses it?
Talent strategy, succession and talent management leads, organisation design teams and HR business partners.
Can we use it in Copilot or ChatGPT?
Yes. Ask MapX questions from Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude and get answers grounded in the same data, ready to turn into a report.
How do we get started?
Two calls: one to set up your report library in your brand, and one to run a first benchmark together on a critical role.
Can reports go to the board?
Yes. Reports come as editable PowerPoint in your brand, with the evidence behind every comparison.
