Career overview
As you read on the introductory page, Information Mapping is the brainchild of Robert Horn, a world-renowned researcher, educator and entrepreneur. His career has incorporated many research and development projects at universities, research centres and businesses.
Involvement with Information Mapping
In 1965, Horn created a way of analysing any complex subject matter. This technique became the basis for Information Mapping, his most widely known accomplishment. In 1967, Horn founded the company that is now known as Information Mapping Inc. He served as CEO of the company for 15 years and continues to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Over four decades later, Information Mapping Inc and its global partner network have brought the method to hundreds of thousands of individuals in over 30 countries.
