Your GCM research, ready for what comes next.
You have enough to manage. Group Concept Mapping gives you a rigorous structure for your study, and groupwisdom™ gives you the tools to carry it through – from research design to publishable results.
Graduate Student Bundles
Five stages of GCM research readiness
Your research, ready to design.
Start with a clear structure instead of a blank page. With GCM training and groupwisdom™, you can define your focus prompt, plan your participants, anticipate each activity, and bring your committee a research design – not a sketch.
Your research, ready to launch.
Build informed consent, participant questions, and custom instructions directly into your groupwisdom™ project. Once you receive IRB approval, you can move directly into data collection without rebuilding your study in a separate system.
Your research, ready to capture.
Let participants brainstorm, sort, and rate on their own schedules through groupwisdom™, while the platform captures their responses for analysis automatically. When your study calls for in-person or paper-based participation, you can collect responses offline and import them into the same project. Use progress tracking to see who has finished and where follow-up may be needed.
Your research, ready to analyze.
Analyze your sorting data in one place with multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis. You can generate point maps, cluster maps, cluster rating maps, pattern matches, go-zones, bridging values, and supporting reports without moving your data from one package to another. Spend your time interpreting and defending your results rather than wrangling the statistics.
Your research, ready to publish.
Turn your results into manuscript-ready figures and supporting data without recreating your work. Export editable PowerPoint maps, vector images, JPG, PNG, PDF, or Word files, and download CSV files for the data behind your results. Choose the format you need and move your GCM findings directly into your dissertation, presentations, and publications.
Get GCM Research Ready
Using GCM in your research means more than purchasing software. You are learning a methodology, designing a defensible study, managing data collection, interpreting your results, and communicating those results in your dissertation and publications.
Choose the level of tools, training, and expert support that fits your research, your experience, and your budget.
