What is a Mind MapĀ®?

A Mind Map® is a powerful graphic technique which provides a universal key to unlock the potential of the brain. It harnesses the full range of cortical skills - word, image, number, logic, rythm, colour and spatial awareness - in a single, uniquely powerful manner. In so doing, it gives you the freedom to roam the infinite expanses of your brain.

The Mind Map® can be applied to every aspect of life where improved learning and clearer thinking will enhance human performance.

Originated in 1970 by Tony Buzan, Mind Maps® are now used by millions of people around the world - from the very young to the very old - whenever they wish to use their brains more effectively.

Similar to a road map, a Mind Map® will:
  • Give you an overview of a large subject/area.
  • Enable you to plan routes/make choices and let you know where you are going and where you have been
  • Gather and hold large amounts of data.
  • Encourage problem solving by seeing new creative pathways.
  • Enable you to be extremely efficient.
  • Be enjoyable to look at, read, muse over and remember.
  • Attract and hold the eye/brain.
