'''Interpretative Structural Modeling''' (ISM) is a general purpose analysis and decision support technique. It was invented by [[John N. Warfield]]. It provides a structured method for dealing with complex situations. It generates a visual map of the situation (or problem) that is used to obtain new insights, and construct new approaches to the problem at hand. ISM incorporates pair-wise comparison, Transitive Logic and Concept Synthesis to construct a visual map of the situation. | '''Interpretative Structural Modeling''' (ISM) is a general purpose analysis and decision support technique.
