Companies recognize mind mapping as a proven and tested communication tool that improves brainstorming discussions within work colleagues. Considered as an alternative approach from the conventional linear presentations like Powerpoint or Charts. Mind Mapping as popularized by the British Psychologist Anthony Peter Buzan, is a simple idea-construction technique which stems from a root or single thought and working your way to branch out. This kind of spider-type diagram can be helpful in nurturing a business idea and proven effective in project management. In fact, in a research study, productivity evidently increased on average by 25%.
Businessmen and entrepreneurs can enhance meetings by simplifying concepts with the use of Mind Mapping. Generate or stimulate ideas to be more effective in their niche. Sample mind mapping applications like MindView and MindManager can be used especially when it comes to project management. Mind maps can be drawn by hand, either as “rough notes” during a lecture, meeting or planning session. However a simple graphical representation of original concepts will suffice. The power lies in its simplicity.
A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information. A mind map is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those. -wikipedia
