Hi Bill and Doc It seems mind mapping is a new tool to teach creative thinking. One site with a pretty picture is www.aws.com.sg/mind.html. You start out with a subject--the central image You then map the main themes (main branches) which radiate from the central theme. Next you link minor thems to main themes All the branches are then connected froming a nodal structure. I attached the file--it is html though. jackief William J.

Mind Mapping is a powerful technique that allows you to make the best use of your brain power. Developed by Tony Buzan, the Mind Mapping technique harnesses the full range of your cortical skills, making you more productive and creative. A Mind Map uses words, lines, logic, colours and images to stimulate your brain. It has four important characteristics:
Here is an example of a Mind Map. Click on it to see how it was created. The Mind Mapping technique is like a Swiss-army knife of the brain. It can be used in many applications, from brainstorming to public speaking to studying. Through its radiating structure, a Mind Map lets you roam the infinite expanse of your mind, expanding and exploring ideas while maintaining a clear focus on the subject.
Mind Maps are used by millions of people around the world. Boeing Aircraft Corporation in Seattle condensed its Aircraft engineering into a 25-foot long Mind Map to enable a team of aeronautical engineers to learn in a few weeks what would have taken a few years. The result: an estimated saving of $10 million. In training, British Petroleum and Digital Equipment use the techniques extensively in their staff training programs. If you are looking for a short-cut to improving your performance at work, try a Mind Map.
