Workshop:

Mind Mapping for Business Applications

Powerful Tools for Communicating, Managing Information and Innovating

In an era dominated by technology, it is ironic that the basic concepts underlying our written communication and note-taking have remained essentially unchanged for two thousand years. In a period where individuals and organizations increasingly strive for sources of competitive advantage, faster, more powerful ways of thinking and communicating represent an important "edge" over the competition.

Mind Mapping has proven to be a powerful tool for organizing, storing, communicating and recalling information. It is also a mental stimulus to more imaginative processing of information.

In the business world, Mind Mapping has been successfully used in a wide range of applications, including group problem-solving, note-taking, brainstorming, project planning, preparing and giving presentations and planning and managing meetings. Whether you are new to the concept of Mind Mapping or use it already but would like to strengthen specific skills, this workshop will develop your ability to apply Mind Mapping successfully in a variety of business situations.
