At the largest annual cooperative gathering between the transportation construction industry and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, participants played a game (for details, see the fall 2017 Highway Builder, p. 14). Like other games, it helped to build relationships in a fun way. However, this game, ASK MATT, also had a practical purpose. Facilitated by Kent Frese, the “players” were using their knowledge to map out a transportation industry challenge and share ideas to address it.

Like a good road map can help you plan a long trip, a good knowledge map shows understanding of a complex issue like strengthening transportation partnerships or quality of transportation projects. Here are the basic steps that you and your organization or collaborative network can use to create a knowledge map for reaching your goals.
With a better map, you can better navigate your organization to success and make a bigger difference for people.
For more information about knowledge mapping and how it might be useful for your organization, visit the Meaningful Evidence website.
