Steve: If I were selling a technique like Buzan then I would agree. However, someone selling a tool to merge ALL techniques is in a different situation, with a knowledge engine to sell.
The difference AFAICT is that Buzan had an *idea* - "don't organize your thoughts about a subject in random order, or list, or tables or other old structures etc. organize them like a map/tree on a page so that you can oversee them". Not a big idea, but an idea, out of wh. he's made money, & clearly appeals to many.. If you have a distinctive idea, wh. you may well have, I've missed it & you're not repeating it. "A tool to merge all techniques" is a goal, not an idea. You have to show me that you have an idea - some new insight into general system principles applying to ,say, repair. And if you are to do focus groups, you will also have to have a new idea to show them & test on them. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=114414975-3c8e69 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
