6 ingredients to make an impactful mind map

Take advantage of the incredible faculties of your brain… with a mindmap.

Are you one of the 250 people using Mindmapping to enhance your thinking and learning? If so, you might recognize it as a simple, accessible and impactful tool. If not… find out how Mindmapping can impact you. 

In 1970, the English psychologist Tony Buzan created Mindmapping as a visual thinking tool that “mimics” our own thinking and combines simple words and images. Since then, many studies demonstrated that, when well-practiced, it increases productivity and critical thinking. It has a positive impact on generating ideas, learning, memorization, organization, planning, project management...

At the scale of a company, the direct gain in using mind mapping is financial thanks to a significant gain in time and productivity… One of the many reasons why 90% of Fortune 500 companies use this technique. Speaking of which… Did you know that the use of mind mapping has saved Boeing more than $10 million?

At the level of the individual, the value is inestimable. We all have the same precious time-budget of 86,400 seconds, each day… non-refundable. In other words, no time to waste. Mindmapping helps us save precious time because we reach higher productivity and more effectivity. And finally, mindmapping provides pleasure which increases our motivation to work, our commitment and our memorization. Because having fun, optimizes learning.

Regular practice of mind mapping will allow you to optimize the potential of this superb machine that we all have: our brain! Discover which other 5 ingredients (next to the brain) are essential, according to Tony Buzan:
