The use of Mind Maps is not new. Remnants of them have been found among the papers of many great thinkers such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Charles Darwin. More recently the scope of their use has been broadened by trainers such as Tony Buzan who, more than anyone else, has opened up so many peoples minds to the benefits of creative Mind Mapping for preparing a project or solving a challenge.
But why do they work better than a simple list? What is it about a Mind Map that adds so much value to learning and remembering? Why does the mind seem to accept this way of displaying facts, data or information so much more readily than other approaches?
The team from the alphaeight institute will answer these questions, and many more, in a lively, interactive presentation. They will also introduce those who might be quite familiar with the process to a number of new Mind Mapping techniques for the 21st century.
