Idea Map 472 – Documenting a Process
14 Feb 2015 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Mind Mapping Examples
Kirk Garrett is the Director of Safety for Laurens Electric Cooperative, Inc. He created this idea map using MindManager to visually show others in the organization the process to follow when a safety incident occurs. His creative use of floating topics makes it easy to determine what to do during an accident or safety infraction.
If you would like a copy of this map in MindManager format, send me an email and I will provide that for you.
Thanks for sharing Kirk!
NIH Uses Idea Mapping For 2015 Strategic Planning
3 Jan 2015 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Workshops, Mind Mapping Examples
Wanting to improve their annual strategic planning process, NIH’s (National Institutes of Health) Office of Extramural Programs in Bethesda, MD decided to learn and also incorporate Idea Mapping skills into planning for 2015.
Here are several photos from the December 1st Idea Mapping Workshop I taught for NIH. Following my workshop this team implemented Idea Mapping into their strategic planning session.
First Day of Idea Mapping Certification Workshop Welcomes Two New Instructors.
5 Dec 2014 Author: Jamie Nast In: Certified Idea Mapping Instructors, Larisa Brigevich, Liza Seiner, Patrizia Pfenninger, Scott Letwin
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. So it is with great pride and appreciation that I welcome two new instructor into our family — Patrizia Pfenninger from Switzerland and Scott Letwin from Alberta, Canada . I will do a full posting on each of them after the certification is completed.
The 2014 certification is currently being held in sunny Palm Beach, Florida. Returning again this year for great fellowship and a refresher are Certified Instructors Liza Seiner and Larisa Brigevich. For those who are interested you can find more info on Idea Mapping Workshops or Instructor Certification pre-requisites.

Idea Maps or Mind Maps 469-471. Covey’s 7 Habits.
5 Nov 2014 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Example, Mind Mapping Examples
On Oct. 24-25 I was the kick-off presenter for the 7th Academy of Evaluation in Warsaw, Poland. For a video slide show of workshop highlights and more information about this 9-month program see my Nov. 1, 2014 posting.
One of the objectives of this workshop is to teach civil servants not only the Idea Mapping tool, but also the MindManager software product. One of the ways I do that is to hand out a 2-page article summarizing Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and have each person create an Idea Map about the article using MindManager. So here are a few examples of those maps. Very interesting how different they can be even though all read the same article.
Dec 3-4, 2014 Jamie Nast Teaches 2-Day Public Idea Mapping Workshop in Palm Beach, FL.
4 Nov 2014 Author: Jamie Nast In: Idea Mapping Certification Workshops, Idea Mapping Workshops, Mind Chi, Mind Mapping Certification Workshops, mind mapping workshops
I’m thrilled to announce that the final public Idea Mapping Workshop for 2014 will be happening in Palm Beach, FL next month. Vanda North (Founder and former CEO of The Buzan Centres) will also be teaching her 1-day Mind Chi Workshop on Dec 2 and will be joining us for much of the Idea Mapping Workshop and subsequent Idea Mapping Instructor Certification Course (Dec 3-6). So far participants are coming from Alberta, Canada, Switzerland, and the USA.
Also joining us will be several previously certified instructors, so there will be an abundance of experienced brains to learn from. Enrollment is limited to only 8 participants since we are using the unique venue of Vanda’s home (only 2 blocks from the beach), so register now if you want a spot in this extraordinary learning journey.
Flights can come directly into West Palm Beach (PBI) or you can take the Tri-Rail from either Miami or Ft. Lauderdale for around $9.00USD one-way.
I look forward to seeing you all in sunny Palm Beach!
