I am an expert in Context Mapping. "Priority is a function of context." Stephen Covey ISO31000 (Risk Mgt.) section 4.3.1 calls for clarifying the organization's internal and external context. Concept map-based Context Maps foster understanding and meaning-making by clarifying hierarchy and inter-dependencies of contextual elements.They are useful tools for any risk management program, whether or not you are implementing ISO31000. Context Maps are multi-purpose tools. Because they make hierarchy, relationships and inter-dependencies clear, they foster a shared mental model, alignment and "getting everyone on the same page". Context Maps are effective decision-support tools because the conceptual clarity facilitates identification and prioritization of potential sources of high-impact risk, "Priority is a function of context." Stephen Covey I bring to my work with clients, 30 years of professional experience including 10 years at Apple where I received an award for Outstanding Contribution in my positions as director of the Education Foundation and founder and manager of External Research.
