More Idea Maps from Luther College Students. Idea Maps #286 & #287.
19 Jun 2011 Author: Jamie Nast In: Book Reviews, Idea Mapping Example, Mind Mapping Examples
The very first posting about this experiment with Luther College students was on October 23, 2009. (You can get some background there.) Dr. Tim Schweizer (who took my Idea Mapping workshop in August 2009) led the experiment. Every semester since then Tim has taught Idea Mapping to his Principles of Management students at the beginning of each semester. Each student reads the first 5 chapters of my Idea Mapping book and then Tim teaches them the “how to’s.”
During one of the activities the students randomly pick one book from the box of books pre-selected by Tim and then read. After 40 minutes of reading they have 15 minutes to map their thoughts. The instructions were that the idea maps were not supposed to be summaries, but they would be reflection pieces on the reading.
So today I’m sharing two Idea Maps from students who attended the Spring semester. The first one was created by Alla Makoveeva on the book “The Art of Innovation” by Tom Kelley, Jonathan Littman and Tom Peters. The second example was done by David Fares on the book “The Big Switch” by Nicholas Carr. Thanks to both for sharing.
To see more examples from these students search this blog for “Luther College.”

Public Idea Mapping Workshop Scheduled for August 2-3, 2011
17 Jun 2011 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Workshops, mind mapping workshops
I try to teach one class locally each summer. Not only does this provide an opportunity for Detroit area professionals to participate, but it also enables the high school and college students to gain strong study and memory skills just prior to returning to the classroom. This year is no different.
Join Jamie Nast August 2-3 for a life-changing learning experience. Students are welcome at 50% off. Register today and secure one of the 20 limited seats.
Answers to the Name Tent Activity
14 Jun 2011 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Workshops, Name Tent ActivityThe challenge to guess the names of the two Idea Mapping Workshop participants was posted June 9, 2011. Participants use images to portray their names — similar to the old game of “Concentration.” No one guessed the names correctly, and to be honest they are not as easy as previous examples. However once you are given the names you can see exactly how clever the artists were. The correct answers are “Ned” and “Victor”.
Name Tent Activity. Can You Guess These Names?
9 Jun 2011 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Workshops, mind mapping workshops, Name Tent Activity
In August of 2008 I introduced the first posting about an activity I use to introduce participants to each other in my Idea Mapping Workshops. Read the first posting to understand the purpose and background of this activity.
Can you guess the first names of these two people from their drawing? I’ll share the answers in the next posting. If you want to be challenged to guess other name tents from this blog, search on “name tent”.

The second example was done by Ben Jarvis on the book “Purple Cow” by Seth Godin. Thanks to both for sharing.

The attached Idea Map is the overview of this webinar created in MindManager by Mindjet.
Performance Review Preparation – Idea Map #282
23 May 2011 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Idea Mapping Workshops, Mind Mapping Examples, mind mapping workshops
In my last posting I featured the first of several outstanding idea maps and portraits that I somehow overlooked sharing. This is the second one from Mike Kline who used idea mapping to brainstorm the preparation for his performance review when he worked at Ford Motor Company. The main map highlights his 2006 accomplishments and the mini-map shows the status of what he has in process. He created this map after attending the Idea Mapping Workshop.
I’ve since lost track of Mike and wish him the best of luck wherever he landed.
Career Opportunities – Idea Map #281
18 May 2011 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Mind Mapping Examples
Yesterday I stumbled across two exceptional idea maps that I didn’t realize I hadn’t shared. Both were created by Mike Kline back in 2006. Today’s example was the result of an idea mapping activity during a season that was going to involve lots of downsizing. As you can see his mind was filled with possible career options.
I’ve since lost track of Mike and wish him the best of luck wherever he landed.
