'''Interpretive Structural Modeling''' (ISM) is a computer-supported technique
'''Interpretive Structural Modeling''' (ISM) is a methodology for identifying relationships among all items, which define a problem or an issue. It is a computer-supported process that helps transform unclear and poorly articulated mental models of systems into visible [[Influence Map| Influence Maps]]
