Explanation of Mind Mapping, Contributed by: Cees van Halen  \n[http://www.12manage.com/methods_mind_mapping.html](http://www.12manage.com/methods_mind_mapping.html)  \nWhat is Mind Mapping? Description  \nMind Mapping is a popular brainstorming tool and learning technique of visually arranging ideas and their interconnections. It can be used to graphically arrange the linkages of some central concept or issue with other concepts or issues into memorable treelike diagrams. It allows you to create, capture, organize, and communicate readily understood and highly interactive visual representations of complex ideas, information, and data.  \nA mind map always starts from some problem or issue which is positioned in the center. Typically it contains words, short phrases and pictures, which are connected to the central issue bylines.  \nMost people are visually oriented. Using structure, words, color, images, and hyperlinks (and sounds) to bring concepts to life, Mind Mapping links a central concept or issue with related concepts or issues. Unlike linear thinking modes (that you probably learned at school) it stimulates imagination and creativity, by connecting left and right brain thinking. Thus it is believed to harness the full range of your analytical and creative skills.  \nOrigin of Mind Mapping. History  \nRadial drawings have already been used for centuries to analyze all kinds of problems. An early example is the graphical representation of the categories of Aristotle by Neoplatonist thinker Poephyry in the 3rd century. Tony Buzan, a British psychologist and a business creativity guru, was seeking a visual and faster way of outlining ideas on paper to support learning and memorizing. He made the modern Mind Map popular in the 60s.  \nUsage of Mind Maps. Applications  \nCommonly, the following functions have been described for Mind Mapping in literature:  \n1. To visualize human information exchange (e.g. workshops, project or staff meetings, brainstorm sessions and strategy sessions) .  \n2. To organize, reorganize and filter the thoughts and ideas that are collected.  \n3. To analyze and structure the information, to identify relationships between key points.  \n4. To improve knowledge management systems. The Mind Map can be used as a visual interface that contains information or external links. Latest software allows automatic build-up of the Mind Map by search engines and renewal of the content by refreshing.  \n5. To produce and present information in a better way. Mind Maps can be automatically converted to other forms of communication, such as: web sites, MSPowerpoint presentations, Projectmanagement information, MSWord files and MSOutlook tasks.  \n6. To better manage the information for meetings, presentations, projects, proposals, research, contacts, etc. Both in the preparation phase, the execution phase and the follow-up phase.  \nMind Maps can be used for a large range of activities, including:  \nNote-taking and reporting. Recall.  \n Brainstorm. Improve creativity. Capture ideas. Compare: Cause and Effect Diagram  \n Clarifying of thoughts. Summarizing. Gain an overview. See topics in their context. Presentation.  \n Presentation.  \n Planning.  \n Analyze and solve complex problems.  \n Team building.  \n Collapse or expand topics to see more or to see less detail (through software) .  \n Support group communication processes (through software) .  \nSoftware for Mind Mapping. Programs  \nYou can draw mind maps by hand, during a lecture or meeting, but the process can also be supported by specialized Mind Mapping software, resulting in additional benefits and new and interesting application areas. Mind Mapping software can be used on several levels:  \n Individual use. To increase personal effectiveness (elaborating ideas and plans, control over complex information, time and project management) .  \n Use in teams.
