I crossed the 23,000 mark! As of this moment I have trained 23,162 individuals in Idea Mapping.

In this graphic you can see that from 1992 thru 2001 I trained nearly 12,000 people. That’s […]

I first introduced Scott in my December 4, 2013 posting as he was preparing to attend my […]

These two Idea Maps from Howard Veit and Scott Letwin summarize Covey’s 7 Habits. These examples were created during my December 2013 Idea Mapping Workshop in Palm Beach, FL using mind mapping software.
