The expanding application of Concept Mapping includes its role in knowledge elicitation, institutional memory preservation, and ideation. With the advent of the CmapTools knowledge modeling software kit, Concept Mapping is being applied with increased frequency and success to address a variety of problems in the workplace.
Supported by business application case studies, Applied Concept Mapping: Capturing, Analyzing, and Organizing Knowledge offers an accessible introduction to the theory, methods, and application of Concept Mapping in business and government. The case studies illustrate applications across a range of industries—including engineering, product development, defense, and healthcare.
The authors provide access to a free download of CmapTools, courtesy of the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, to enable readers to create and share their own Concept Maps. Offering examples from the United States, Canada, Australia, Spain, Brazil, Scotland, and The Netherlands, they highlight a global perspective of this dynamic tool. The text is organized into three sections:
- Practitioners’ Views—supplies narratives, guidance, and reviews of applications from career Concept Mappers
- Recent Case Studies and Results—presents in-depth examinations of specific applications and their results
- Pushing the Boundaries—explores what’s possible and where the boundary conditions lie
Applied Concept Mapping facilitates the fundamental understanding needed to harness the power of Concept Mapping to develop viable solutions to a virtually unlimited number of real-world problems.

Invariably, this purpose evolves over the life cycle of the effort. While certainly not predestined, we typically see a four-phase pattern emerge when we work with clients: the picture phase, the utility phase, the extended utility phase, and the deployment phase. First is the picture phase: The client wants help creating Concept Maps, and thinks.
Guide the knowers and clients toward. By anticipating these phases, the skilled Concept Mappers can create Concept Maps that build toward the ensuing phases. While some clients may already see it and be working toward it, the Concept Mapper can present the vision at opportune times during any given Concept Mapping session or the course of the project. © 2011 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC Skills in Applied Concept Mapping • 41 Facilitation In addition to the skills involved in Concept.

PRIMORDIAL HISTORY OF CONCEPT MAPPING Much of the first author’s (McNeese) academic life and education has been concerned with cognitive psychology and cognitive science, specifically with respect to: memory–knowledge representation, acquisition, and access of that representation; use of knowledge in terms of reasoning and problem solving (both individually and in teamwork); the role context.
