Kathy what I’ve found to really enhance the visual experience using mind maps is to embed images in all your nodes.

You can make simple images and then embed them like “check e-mail”, “login”, “Blogs”, etc.

Then link to each website or file locally on your hard drive and work off that system or map that yo created in your day-to-day business operations.

Hope this tip helps to all those using mind mapping software.

The combined power and utility of mind or idea mapping and Microsoft Surface (or other large screen horizontal or vertical touch screen) would be a very productive combination.

I use templates with my clients in this sort of work because there is nothing that freaks a client more than a blank piece of paper! Sometimes a Mind Map to trace first to get the concepts across is also a good idea.
I recently helped a friend through a very difficult time in their life using MindMapping and it worked a treat because they were able to see all aspects of the issues all the time getting the balance back.

Hi Kathy,

It would be very nice to use touch screens and create mindmaps on them. Do you create most of your mindmaps on paper?

I think the size of the screen will be very important for touch screen mind mapping. There are some tools for the iPhone… but the screen is way too small to create a nice map.

Question: Do you use mindmaps TOGETHER with your clients as well? Just ask your clients to create a mindmap of themselves. This will give them and you lots of insight in their thinking.
