An Idea Mapping Success Blogs Weblog
I’m starting a series of idea maps that were created by participants of my workshop titled, “Idea Mapping: A Learning Workshop”. These professionals each create a map from an overview of Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People“. Each map ends up looking quite different, has different main branches, different levels of detail, and varied amounts and types of images. In a recent workshop during the debrief of this activity, I had someone ask, “Did we read the same article?” I thought that comment was profound and that there was a lesson and a hint in its content.
The hint is that despite reading the same information or hearing the same speech or being part of the same project, each person has unique ideas and associations which make their maps one-of-a-kind. This is the first map in the “Did we read the same article?” series. The lead idea map comes from Alan Wall of ACH. Enjoy!
P.S. The Idea Mapping Squidoo Lens is ranked #7 in Business and #148 Overall today!
The purpose of this blog is to share idea mapping examples and related learning from my Idea Mapping, Memory, Speed Reading, and Certification Workshops. This blog is dedicated to my Certified Idea Mapping Instructors, my clients, Mind Mapping and Idea Mapping practitioners around the globe.

Did We Read the Same Article [Map 8 in this Series and Idea Map #175]? | Idea Mapping
August 19th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
[…] On Septmeber 16, 2007 I posted the first idea map in this series of which this is now the 8th idea map. As part of the Idea Mapping Workshop participants read an article that summaries Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and then create an idea map of it. Each map ends up looking quite different which initially concerns people. In fact their maps should look different because they should be created based on the individuals unique purpose, previous knowledge of the material, style, and trust in their ability to remember what words and symbols meant at the time of creation. I literally had one participant think that I had tricked everyone into reading different articles on the same topic! […]
