Issues & Information Roadmaps

The links below take you to "Roadmaps" we developed to help you explore issues, identify helpful web links and retrieve documents from various sources.

We use this technique because, folding and unfolding branches of the roadmap (read the instructions at the top of each map), you can switch from a "30,000 foot" summary view to "detail" view of different parts of the issue to be discussed/evaluated and travel the information base with continuous reference to the general context.

We believe that our Roadmaps and Knowledgemaps represent a new way of navigating and delivering complex information about issues where different perspectives and conflicting considerations exist. Our Roadmaps evolved from from "mindmaps" which derived from research in cognitive psychology. Marco Messina, Director of Technology Programs at Maricopa SBDC, developed and successfully tested this unique technology and web user for use in collaborataive information processing and knowledge management and created new models of collaboration and counseling communications. We hope you find this approach helpful even if not yet the most commonly used. We believe that this is a new knowledge management paradigm that lets us deliver superior service.
We welcome your comments.
