English term or phrase: causal mapping
Eliciting and transferring tacit knowledge is critical for the growth ambitions of small knowledge-intensive firms such as management consultancies because their work is often intangible and ambiguous. How this can be done presents a challenge as there are yet no tools available to help them.

This article explains how the use of **causal mapping** helped the partners of one consultancy firm to surface their tacit knowledge, to uncover what they should try to replicate within the organization to sustain their success, and to refine their raison d’être. Through the mapping process, which is interactive, non-directive, and generates ownership of the outcomes, the partners were encouraged to tap into their ambiguous, tacit knowledge base, which constitutes a large part of their consultancy’s success.

Leider hab ich hier überhaupt keinen Plan.
zufälliges Zuordnen?
unmethodische Zuordung?
Leider gibt Google gar keine Übereinstimmungen. Da das ein Fachbegriff zu sein scheint, bleibt es vielleicht im Deutschen sogar stehen?
Bin für jeden Hinweis dankbar!

Mind Mapping


Explanation:
Ich denke, es könnte so etwas wie Mind Mapping sein... z.B. gibt es einen Aufsatz von Jörg Seifert mit dem Titel "Cognitive map, Mnemo-Technik und Mind Mapping. Raumeindrücke mental verorten, Wissensstrukturen visualisieren, Vorstellungsräume zum Lernen nutzen" in: ALFA-FORUM. Zeitschrift für Alphabetisierung und Grundbildung, 60/2005, S. 32–34.
