History
Information Mapping's foundation
Information Mapping, Inc. was founded in 1967 under the name of Information Resources, Inc. by Robert E. Horn. Robert Horn was a researcher at Harvard and Columbia Universities who was interested in how human factors theory and other disciplines could be used to improve learning. The company's initial charter was to study the way people learn, and to develop services to facilitate the analysis, organization, and presentation of information. The initial funding was derived from projects with the U.S. Department of Defense.
Creation of the Information Mapping Method
Robert Horn's research evolved into the Information Mapping Method, and then into Information Mapping's proprietary, research-based seminars and consulting services. The company, renamed Information Mapping, Inc. in 1982, was operated as a "think tank" until the early 1980s, when commercialization of the company's research base began.
