If Boeing, Oracle, EDS And Other High Profile Companies Have Drawn Great Benefits from Mind Mapping, What's Stopping You?
Mind Mapping, if you are not aware, primarily uses non-linear
methods and leans heavily on association and links. These very
features of Mind Mapping lend the technique a great deal of
power and simplicity, and the resourcefulness of the technique
emerges only from the actual application. You will find that
Mind Mapping greatly facilitates group activities and hence is
ideal for Brainstorming, Project Planning, Presentation and
whole lot of other applications as you can creatively apply.
What is of significance is that Mind Maps are a great boon in
large business corporations, where thousands of executives or
employees have to undergo training, or managers are involved in
Meetings, Presentations, Brainstorming, Seminars, and wide range
of other activities. When Mind Maps are applied in these
sessions, you will be fascinated by how the whole process takes
on a new meaning and significance. People who have applied Mind
Maps will vouch for the value they derived. Not surprising then
that Boeing, Oracle EDS, Nabisco and other big companies that
used the technique drew immense benefits. Testimonies to this
are as follows:
A Boeing Aircraft Engineering Manual was condensed into a
25-foot long Mind Map to enable a team of 100 senior
aeronautical engineers to learn in a few weeks, what took a few
years earlier. This resulted in the company netting an estimated
saving of $11 million.
In training courses, EDS Digital Computers and British Petroleum
found that using Mind Maps brought in huge savings - as much as
80%. EDS and Nabisco have implemented group commando study
program using Mind Maps and Mind Map Organic Study Technique on
a group of 120 senior members. Results showed that they were
able to condense and disseminate information amounting to 4-6
books in a day's session. At Oxford and Cambridge Universities,
students like Edward Hughes used group Mind Map to obtain, with
minimal time and effort, high first class grades in examinations.
Alan Matcham of Oracle Corp., had introduced Mind Maps decades
ago. As Director of Change Management, he had resorted to Mind
Maps to communicate complex ideas, intra-departmental
brainstorming, Presentations and for collating information into
integrated units.
Sargio Giacoletto, ex-Vice President of
Oracle, Europe, is a great fan of Mind Mapping technique.
There are many more notable users, who have applied and continue
to advocate Mind Map technique in different areas of their
professional lives. In the hands of experienced users, Mind Maps
find ready application in great many activities that requires
clear thinking, exploring ideas at length, helping to find
relationships amongst different elements, collating a gamut of
information, planning, analysis, group interactions, and so on.
What is indeed a notable feature of Mind Map technique is that
it makes for quick reading, easy assimilation and memory, and
fast review. The non-linear method of using key words and
phrases, apart from conveying the essence of thoughts, colors,
pictures and symbols have deep mnemonic value, making reading a
facile process. Since ideas are grouped under relevant headings
with different levels of branches, the progression of thoughts
and ideas can be very easily assimilated.
In addition, the relational significance between different
elements of the subject matter under study is brought to bear
instantly. Also, use of succinct messages converged and
coalesced into a single integrated Mind Maps makes reviewing of
the whole range of information double quick than the
conventional method of involving long sentences and logical
sequence. Besides, the ease of arranging ideas, capturing
running thoughts and ideas, the personal involvement evoked and
creativity it triggers makes Mind Mapping a distinct technique
worth cultivating. Needless to say, all these and more render
Mind Mapping not just as a perfect tool, but an indispensable
life tool as well, finding application in a vast array of human
activities, not just for business heads but every individual -
from a child to adult.
