An Idea Mapping Success Blogs Weblog
Last night on the Rachel Maddow show, Rachel stated people will see this example of the Afghanistan battle plan (known as the “Planistan”) as genius because the entire plan is shown visually on one piece of paper. So Idea Mapping and visual thinking have made it to the White House! This Joint Chiefs of Staff document illustrates the daunting complexity of this issue — exactly one of the many benefits of Idea Mapping and visual communication.
This map of the stability plan highlights how to gain popular support, governance, development, security, and information systems. Thank you to April Scarlett who attended my Idea Mapping Workshop with the Saline Leadership Institute two weeks ago for bringing this to my attention.
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.

Maddow made fun of the digram. She actually ridiculed the format. She didn’t really serve the cause for this process, one that many of us find as a valuable process.

If she made fun of it, then perhaps she needs to take an idea mapping success seminar! 🙂
