What is Mindmaps?
„The best way how to have a good idea is to have many ideas“
Alex F. Osborne, 1939
method of thinking up solutions, concepts, ideas in problem solving
using the brain to storm new ideas in groups
„It is easier to tone down a wild idea than to think up a new one.“
Buzan developed Mind Mapping while at University. He was
frustrated that traditional note-taking consumed so much time.
Realising that the brain responds extremely well to key words,
colours, and images Buzan developed a simple set of rules for
capturing topics in a map. His brother, Barry Buzan, then realised
that the technique could also help in creative thinking
