Brainstorming with MindMapp

Need fast answers? Brainstorm with MindMapper:

Sometimes you don't have the time to allow a question to gestate. You need answers NOW. The MindMapper software is a great tool for brainstorming, because you can add topics just by typing: simply select the centre of the mind map, or the topic you want as the parent of the new topic, and type. This makes it easy to get all the thoughts in your head out onto the map. When you're brainstorming with a group, one person can act as the recorder, entering all the ideas into MindMapper.

Here are some tips for brainstorming:


Enter everything that comes into your head. If you're brainstorming in a group, enter all the suggestions. Often you get the answer to a problem or develop a great new idea by combining topics;
Place a time limit on your brainstorming sessions. Ten minutes is ample. Then have a break. Have a cup of coffee. When you return, you can continue working on the same map, or use a topic from that map to develop another map;
Make a note of the concepts generated after one or two brainstorming sessions. After you've been brainstorming for a period, you'll find that your ideas cluster into areas: write down the areas. In this way, you're going from the specific to the general.
