Idea Map #35 – An Idea Tree
14 Aug 2007 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example
Roberto Vidales is an ecologist and has been using what he calls “idea trees” as a tool to develop an ecological-holistic view and consciousness about nature and the big challenges we are facing now as human beings — like the global warming or climatic disaster. He uses this idea tree as an educational tool to share with friends, neighbors, local government authorities, and different audiences in Mexico City and surrounding areas. This is Roberto’s second contribution to this website. See his first idea map in spanish. I met Roberto when he attended (and successfully completed) the Buzan Licensed Instructor Course that I taught in October of 2005.![[Ask]](http://ideamapping.ideamappingsuccess.com/IdeaMappingBlogs/wp-content/plugins/bookmarkify/ask.png)

Idea Map #34 – Preparing For a Debate
10 Aug 2007 Author: Jamie Nast In: Differences Between Idea Mapping and Mind Mapping, Idea Mapping Example
After my July workshop at ACH, one of the participants (Karen Southworth) told one of the guys she worked with (Duane Lawrence) about the class. He is really interested in attending the upcoming October offering. This is what Karen shared with me:
In the August 3, 2007 posting I mentioned that I would follow-up on the ACH workshop participants and share their idea maps and portraits. This portrait drawing was created by Michael Harrison during the 2-day “Idea Mapping: A Learning Workshop” taught at ACH on July 25-26. This activity is one of several opportunities for professionals to prove that they can learn skills that may have previously seemed impossible. This analogy then carries into their business and personal lives. For many other postings that share portraits, search on “portrait” in this blog.
If you are interested in bringing this workshop to your organization, see the July 17th posting for a special offer for Fortune 500 companies and Michigan businesses.
Idea Map #33 – A Medical Makeover
7 Aug 2007 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Idea Mapping Workshops, Mind Mapping Examples
In the June 22, 2007 blog posting, I shared an idea map that had been created by a friend of mine from EDS who attended the Idea Mapping Workshop that at that time was called Mind Matters. I had lost track of her. In the June 26, 2007 posting, I shared how Janet and I miraculously reconnected and another one of her extraordinary maps. Today is the third map from Janet featured in this blog. It talks about a medical makeover.

31 Jul 2007 Author: Jamie Nast In: Certified Idea Mapping Instructors, Idea Mapping Example, Idea Maps for Meetings, Liza Seiner, Real-Time Idea Maps
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 she collected and how she could best display it. The top map was her black and white map where she gathered the information live. The bottom idea map is her intermediate drawing prior to the final version which is displayed in the July 28, 2007 posting.Idea Map #30 – Meeting Notes
28 Jul 2007 Author: Jamie Nast In: Brainstorming, Certified Idea Mapping Instructors, Idea Mapping Example, Liza Seiner
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 map has not been sent to anyone, although it may be posted on the website for Temple and the committee. The purpose of the meeting was to brainstorm ideas for the committee’s mission statement and to gather ideas for social action events that could take place over the next year. The temple is celebrating its 50th anniversary and Liza’s husband had the idea of hosting/facilitating at least 50 activities in the anniversary year.
When she took the initial notes, they were tagged by who brought up the point. In the final version she left that out, so as not to highlight that aspect. Her husband has the original
notes and the map and is using it to supplement his notes. If I can get a copy of the original map, I’ll put it up so that you can compare the draft to the final version.
