Overview of Concept Mapping Steps

Idea Generation: Communities of interest and expertise were identified, and responded with brainstormed ideas

Structuring: Communities of interest and expertise sorted and rated the results of the idea development, authoring the structure and value domain of the issue

Representation: CSI computed the maps, pattern matches and “go zones,” and prepared them for interpretation

Interpretation and Use: Strategies and tactics for action will follow directly from the interpretation of the results. Pattern matches and go zones will help to build consensus on action.

Planning: Planners and key issue advisors developed a focus prompt and identified participants


Defining the Issue
