Concept Systems training provides concept mappers with all the tools and support they need to use The Concept System® effectively throughout their organizations for planning, development, decision-making, and evaluation.

CSI offers two levels of training:

CS Facilitator Training for Core Applications

As a certified facilitator of The Concept System® you can:

• Increase your efficiency by structuring your group decision-making processes
• Ensure group consensus with a conceptual framework defined by the entire group
• Eliminate the inefficiencies of traditional group-think
• Optimize understanding with easy-to-read pictorial maps
• Pinpoint disconnects before significant investments are made
• Ensure accurate follow-up with measures that track the project from start to finish

Advanced Training Workshop

Data to Meaning: Refining and Enhancing the Concept Mapping Analysis

• October 21-22, 2010

Sessions begin at 8:30am on the first day of training and conclude by 3:30pm on the last day.

Targeted to those who have previously conducted concept mapping projects, this 2 day advanced training workshop goes beyond the CS Core Facilitator Training, focusing on skills for data aggregation, analysis and exportation; and production of results.

Participants will learn techniques for statement reduction and refinement (Idea Synthesis), data input evaluation, and using the concept mapping data in SPSS. In addition, participants will gain experience in choosing the best fitting cluster solution by comparing results and methods on a common project.
