Mind mapping is a smart and intuitive way to organize ideas, projects or simply a teamwork management. A Mind Map is a graphic method of taking notes, which allows to organize and divide ideas into branches and subsections, using the sheet as a landscape and not just in the usual linear dimension, and preferring catchy images or short banners to long and vague sentences.

Tony Buzan is the inventor of Mindmapping. His “The Mind Map Book” of 1993 has been republished several times and contains the guidelines of this technique. Nowadays several mind-mapping software are available, some for free.
More great [art]work from the DiploFoundation team. 🙂
For anyone that missed it, there is an older article (a reblog of Tommaso Coniglio’s Blog http://synapseburning.com) discussing Buzan and Mindmaps.
