Idea Map #116 - Planning Effective Meetings

5 Sep 2008 Author: jamie nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Idea Maps for Meetings, Mind Mapping Examples

Steve Rothwell from the UK has previously contributed several idea maps to this blog. This is the collapsed version of a much larger map he created using MindManager. I’ll let Steve tell you about it in his own words. Email me if you want me to send you the full version.

“The attached is the outline and script for a 10 minute presentation on planning effective meetings.  It started on paper and then progressed to MindManager where I developed the ideas and structure.  Then I added anecdotes and tips. I don’t share this map when I present, I have committed it to memory and work from a much simpler version that is also a handout. As a bonus, I provide an additional handout — a 2-page planning worksheet. I’ve given this informal talk to a couple of local business networking groups, and it appears to be well received.”

Answer for Name Tent #2 - Rogers

4 Sep 2008 Author: jamie nast In: Certified Idea Mapping Instructors, Idea Mapping Workshops, Name Tent Activity

The answer to yesterday’s brain-teaser is Rogers. Kroger is a national grocery store chain in the USA, so the solution is: Kroger (not Farmer Jack’s) minus the “K” plus an “S”. Scott Knitter from EDS was the first person to correctly guess the name and Lisa Harvey Roach (Certified Idea Mapping Instructor) was the second.

Name Tent #2 - Can You Guess?

3 Sep 2008 Author: jamie nast In: Idea Mapping Workshops, Name Tent Activity

OK, that was just too much fun! Let’s try one more and then I’ll get back to sharing a stack of idea maps that are waiting in the cue. The instructions and purpose for this activity was posted on August 31, 2008, so if you are new to this game you may want to read that posting first.

This time I didn’t rename the file to this person’s first name — so there will be no possibility of cheating!

P.S. For those who are not familiar with “Farmer Jack’s”, it is the name of a grocery store chain in the USA.
