Member-driven, insight-rich collaboration — built around your priorities.
As MAPconnected enters its next phase of growth, we are launching member peer benchmarking groups designed for senior leaders. These executive-level forums will focus on strategy, governance, and enterprise impact—moving beyond day-to-day operations.
Each group convenes in a closed-door, facilitated environment and is built around targeted themes and member-driven priorities, enabling meaningful dialogue on the issues that truly shape business outcomes.
Annual Cadence – A blended format combining in-person depth with virtual flexibility:
- 4 benchmarking sessions annually
- 1 in-person session at the Service & Warranty Lifecycle Summit (Oct 19–21, Detroit)
- 3 virtual peer round robins (February, May, August)
What Makes These Groups Different:
- Approved participation to ensure open, relevant dialogue
- Benchmark-driven agendas focused on peer comparison, not theory
- Give-and-take engagement model—all participants contribute
- MAPconnected facilitation to keep discussions structured, compliant, and actionable
Participation Requirements:
- Invitation required (approval based on role and relevance)
- Active MAPconnected Annual Membership
- Commitment to a give-and-take benchmarking model
- Agreement to the member-driven defined agenda and engagement format
