Brainstorming
Brainstorming is a process of generating new and creative ideas. The Mind Mapping® tool enables you to create an infinite number of thoughts, ideas, links and associations on any topic making it an ideal tool to stimulate your thinking. It can also be used to capture ideas in group brainstorming sessions rather than having hundreds of flip charts posted around the room! A Mind Map® of all your ideas can be viewed and distributed quickly and easily. |

Decision-Making
A Mind Map® can help you make decisions by helping you to clarify the go/no go; yes/no; a/b choices about an issue. The more information you put on your decision map, the more the best decision will become apparent. If it is still a balanced Mind Map®, either option may be OK. |

Planning
A Mind Map® makes organising, planning, prioritising and time management much easier. The order of events can be coded by dates with the initials of the person responsible. You can use numbers or symbols to prioritise key tasks and actions. |
