Idea Mapping

The Idea Mapping Instructor Certification process is not for the faint of heart. It is an elite designation — a demanding and rigorous certification experience unlike no other in the Idea Mapping or Mind Mapping space.

When the Idea Mapping Book was published by Wiley the Idea Maps included in the book were printed in black & white much to my disappointment. So I’ve slowly been featuring some of those maps in color on my blog. This one was created by Certified Idea Mapping Instructor Liza Seiner. I met Liza in […]

This blog contains numerous examples of Idea Maps which summarize Covey’s 7 Habits. These examples come from an activity participants go through during my 2-day Idea Mapping Works.

Yesterday I spoke with Liza Seiner who is one of my CIMIs (Certified Idea Mapping Instructors).

This posting is a follow-up to yesterday’s final version of Liza’s meeting notes. Hint #12 involves when to re-create your idea map. Often times your purpose doesn’t require this, but in Liza’s case she was creating a useful document for public view. This gave her an opportunity to step back and think about the information […]

Liza Seiner (Certified Idea Mapping Instructor) created this idea map during a 2-hour temple committee meeting. She took black/white notes with some images throughout the meeting, but felt that they were not very well organized for the various themes that were being discussed. So she went back and put these together. At this point, the […]
