Mind Mapping  

Mind Mapping is the brainchild of Tony Buzan, the world's leading authority on the brain and learning.  His books have achieved massive success in more than a hundred countries and have been translated into 30 languages.  He lectures worldwide and acts as an adviser to numerous multinational companies and governments.  He is also President of the Brain Foundation, founder of the Brain Trust Charity, the World Memory Championships and the World Championships of the Brain. 

In a Mind Map, information is organised in a way that mirrors how the brain functions - in a radiant rather than a linear fashion. 

The Mind Mapping process uses images, colour and visual-spatial arrangements to make it easy for the brain to remember and to create links to more memories and new ideas. 

Research has proven that you will remember significantly more using Mind Mapping when compared to conventional methods of note taking or learning by rote.  

Mind Maps really come into their own in the area of creativity as Mind Mapping offers a powerful approach for improving your ability to generate, visualise and organise ideas.  It is an ideal tool to use in brainstorming sessions, encouraging more open communication.  The spatial layout helps you gain a better overview.  You make new connections more visible, so you can create an infinite number of thoughts, ideas, links and associations on any topic.
