What is mind mapping? How to use it?
The mind map, or mental map, allows us to represent our visual thinking. It helps you map, prioritize and structure your ideas in a logical way. Its interest lies above all in its intuitive aspect, in particular the fact that by building a map around a main idea, it encourages you to establish relevant links with other big ideas and/or secondary ideas. The result is a core with branches and sub-branches connected to each other.
The goal: to organize your ideas through concept maps and questioning.
The applications of mind mapping are numerous. In companies, mind maps allow you to model processes and make them easier to understand. This mode of transmission allows you to optimize your time and the effectiveness of a training course. Mind mapping or mind map is also useful in the context of collaboration or brainstorming: when ideas fuse, you need to connect them in order to initiate an action plan or use a decision-making technique in different areas.
For example, you can decide to work collaboratively and invite all your collaborators to speak clockwise. Thanks to a free mind mapping software, you can first put the main subject of your brainstorm. Then thanks to arrows, everyone could put main ideas as well as secondary ideas, the objective being to structure the ideas. This allows you to create a graphical representation of the different ideas, that is to say to represent visually and synthetically all the different ideas put forward. You can also make connections between them, put pictograms or use keywords. You will have a simplified overall visualization. This technique has already proven its effectiveness many times over by allowing you to organize your thinking.Â
Stimulate your thinking thank to the mind mapping
The left hemisphere of our brain concentrates our so-called “Cartesian” functions: our logic, our analytical abilities . These functions will complement the intuition, imagination and emotions that reside in our right hemisphere.
Mind mapping reconciles the abilities of our two hemispheres. By having both of them work simultaneously on mental maps, the individual combines structured thinking with the comfort of the senses. Mind-mapping is used in all professional and private fields, especially marketing and communication, and by all types of people: employees, but also students, children and retired people. Mind maps allow better communication and memorization when speaking, as they are visual tools with a structured format.
