Compendium

Compendium provides a methodological framework, plus an evolving suite of tools, for collective sense-making and group memory. Validated in both small and large scale business projects, it is the result of over a decade's research and development at the intersection of collaborative modeling, organizational memory, computer-supported argumentation and meeting facilitation.

Compendium excels in enabling groups to collectively elicit, organize and validate information. In order to integrate this with pre/post-meeting processes and artifacts, these maps can be transformed into other document formats, asynchronous discussions around the contents of maps, and other file formats for further computation and analysis (see Compendium Interfaces). The domain independence of Compendium's mapping technique for meetings, combined with its interoperability with domain-specific applications, provides a powerful platform for knowledge construction and negotiation.
