Improve your workplace productivity with easier, more effective decision making, visual thinking and collaboration, whatever your business.

Rationale™

Build students’ reasoning and critical thinking skills at all education levels, through argument mapping and visualization.

At Austhink, we are leaders in business decision mapping and argument mapping: visual techniques for organizing thinking and handling complex argumentation.

Austhink’s software products have years of university research behind them. They are based on a deep understanding of critical thinking, and take advantage of our ability to grasp information much more easily when it’s presented in image form.

A step beyond mind mapping, decision mapping helps businesspeople streamline the decision process, improve collaboration and move more quickly to action through greater consensus. Argument maps help users comprehend, evaluate, produce and communicate complex reasoning on any topic, and are particularly useful in teaching and learning critical thinking and logic skills.

No need for extensive training courses – Austhink’s tools have such simple, intuitive drag-and-drop interfaces that anyone can create a map in minutes.
