Developed in 1970 by Tony Buzan, a Mind Map is a powerful graphic technique, which, because it draws on the strengths of both sides of the brain, provides a universal key to unlocking its potential.
It harnesses the full range of cortical skills in a single, uniquely powerful way.
Mind Maps are ‘Brain Friendly’ – they:
- Give you an overview of a large subject/area
- Enable you to ‘plan routes’, make choices
- Gather and hold large amounts of information
- Encourage productive day-dreaming and problem-solving by looking for creative links and pathways
- Are extremely efficient
- Are enjoyable to look at, think about, revisit and remember
- Are fun to do – with the added bonus that they involve few words and many images/symbols
