Hi!
I remember that back in 2003 I was amazed, curious, and fascinated while discovering mind maps and their usage.
In time, I've used them for almost all my workshops and training. I've designed them, improved them in collective work, brainstorm on them, delivered Business coaching using them, and so on. Back then, I had two main software I was using, one was free and the other one was a more complex one, for companies. The one that I had for free was from MindManager and they have issues different versions for free for many years.
From Tony Buzan, I have understood the concept of mind mapping even better in 2003. You can find many informative articles and videos over the internet where he explains the benefits of using mind-maps. I'll not elaborate on this now, because those that are interested can find information online, plus, I can send free digital resources about mindmaps, as well. The fact is that you don't need software to design a mind map. Just a little time, will, and a strong wish to chunk down a piece of information into particular and different angles to look at it.
Yesterday, the MindManager Starter Academy launched and it is designed for new and experienced users alike who want to perfect and expand their MindManager skills.
Their's sign-up is free and here is what you can take advantage of:
- 5 guided training sessions from MindManager customer success managers
- Live Customer Q&A sessions with MindManager experts taking place monthly in 3 languages
- Free downloadable map samples so that you can easily apply the session learnings to your own work
I am subscribed to them, so I'm sharing with you their registration link directly.
Remember, feel free to ask me for digital resources regarding mind maps.
Do not ask me to explain this concept. Do your own work.
We can talk about their use in Project Management, General Business, Management, Marketing, Finance, Education, Creative industries once you get an idea of what they are. I'll even tell you how I've managed Pennsylvania Lab's team using mind maps.
If you're used to mind maps, I'll love to hear about your experience with them!
With brains focused and re-focused on strategy,
