There has never been as much knowledge as there is today. And it’s growing. Exponentially. Virtually any information can be called up in seconds, literally at your fingertips. But is it productive?
Information is often stuck in silos, the context of the big picture is missing, or the crucial knowledge component remains hidden in the flood of information. However, in order to comprehensively understand a topic, an area of knowledge, the connection between individual pieces of information is crucial. Individual pieces of information only make sense in their overall context. We are specialized in tracking down and connecting information as well as conveying it. So your knowledge becomes productive.
Individual bits of information are only valuable in their context
To understant the context we work closely with you. Talk to knowledge carriers, collect content, track down information, and make the crucial connections between individual pieces of information.
For context mediation we use knowledge maps – which on the one hand make the overview and structure visible and on the other hand contain the relevant information in its context. In our team we combine editorial expertise (text & (moving) image) with design (graphics, animation, UX/UI) and software development.
Our established process is guided by the content. In close coordination with everyone involved, we identify and structure the crucial information.
From research to structuring to design – we support the creation of a KontextMap in all areas.
Our tool for creating, maintaining content and publishing interactive knowledge maps.
The future of knowledge transfer is digital, interactive and takes into account the individual needs and interests of the addressees in terms of breadth and depth. With KontextMaps, we have found a globally unique solution thanks to which we can address some of the most challenging problems of contemporary communication and issue-specific empowerment. And with Kontextlab, we have an innovative and reliable partner who listens to us and allows our needs and wishes to be taken account into further development. We and our customers are delighted!
Exceptional! We use context maps so that our clients understand the crucial contexts. The knowledge maps show the overview AND go into depth. This combination creates real added value - for the users of the maps when discovering, our customers, who can grasp a lot of information faster and better, as well as for us, as we can map and communicate the structure of the topics directly!
We live in complex times and we have to identify the context we are working in. One of the best way to see how challenges are interconnected is to visualise them. Therefore, we worked with the team of Kontextlab on an extensive mapping of the 5G Technology: from the political and regulatory context to the likely effects on business, health concerns and cybersecurity, from broad overview to details, interviews with experts and explanatory graphics. We were impressed and inspired by the professionalism and creativity of the Kontextlab’s team and their amazing way to present the complexity of a topic.
I was delighted to get a presentation of the online platform for Mapping of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) interactive visualizations that Julia, Erich and Bernhard developed for the Perception Change Project (PCP).
With our Media Map, we want to present the entire diversity of the Bavarian media landscape clearly and at a glance. In order to provide a structured overview of actors, institutions, events, funding, training institutions and facts & figures, we decided to use the Kontextlab software. With the help of the knowledge map, we can systematically relate individual areas to each other in a simple and innovative way that makes the reader want to discover the diversity of the Bavarian media landscape and delve deeper into the topic.
Working with the founders of "Der Kontext" and "Kontextlab" is a pure pleasure. Smart people who, together with their colleagues, develop smart solutions to keep track of an abundance of knowledge and dive into the depths at any time to acquire detailed knowledge - and zoom out again for an overview: this is an offer in which the electronic medium can play to its full strengths. This also applies to our content on training in all health professions.
I see enormous potential in these interactive topic maps for the entire education sector! We are pleased to have found an ideal partner in "Kontextlab GmbH" to offer innovative knowledge acquisition based on individual learning requirements for school-relevant topics. The Education Group as an expert for innovative-creative solutions at the interface of pedagogy, technology and media will thus further enrich the educational landscape in Austria!
The opportunities for parent representatives to participate in Bavarian schools are manifold. The parent councils have contact with different groups of people in their work and can contribute to a wide range of topics. The presentation of these networked and branched fields of activity succeeds in an ingeniously simple way on the website www.elternmitwirkung.bayern via the topic maps of KontextLab. The subject can be understood intuitively by the user of the map. The design and administration are easy to implement for the provider.
Our aim was to present complex thematic worlds of our agricultural organisation in their diversity and characteristics in a way that is in keeping with the spirit of the times and entertaining. Large contexts are easiest to explain, understand and ultimately grasp in small steps. For this reason, we have chosen "Kontextlab".
For the first edition of Q Berlin Questions, a conference initiated by the city of Berlin, we collaborated with Kontextlab and built a map for the announcement and documentation of the event. In this way, we were able to visualise and constantly expand the complexity and ramification of our topics on the website. Julia and Bernhard were fun to work with and we were delighted to have them on board for our first Q.
