Conceptual modeling in system analysis is used to identify the business requirements of an information system before the development and implementation of the systems into organisations. Due to increased user participation in system analysis, we propose that a conceptual model that represents the thought-processes of the user in performing their work would be useful. In this work we conduct an exploratory study to test the proposition. From the study we found that concepts which represent the thought processes are judged to be useful by domain experts for tracing the behaviour of actors in the domain. For future research we will use our method to design cooperative information systems and to gain an understanding of processes that involve interdependent but autonomous individuals.
