About Me…
…not quite a Mind Map
Vulcan Mind Meld
Why is it the lost art:Few people have heard of it, fewer have used it in a business application
What is Mind Mapping What are some guidelines around Mind
Mapping Create a Mind Map How to apply Mind Maps to business Demo – we need an audience guinea pig!
Thru our Mind Meld today
First learned Mind Mapping during an MBA class
It fit my learning style by combining a kinesthetic learning (doing learner) with a visual learner in a very creative way
I’ve used it in a variety of ways and get asked often “what are you doing”?
Personal Experience
What is Mind Mapping◦ Graphic diagram to visually outline information◦ Created around a single word or text to which
associated ideas, words and concepts are added◦ Can be drawn by hand or used with software◦ Also called spider diagrams, spidergrams, webs,
mind webs, webbing or idea sun bursting Very easy to use and teach others to use it
and facilitate use during meetings
Mind Mapping 101
First popularized by Tony Buzan, a British popular psychology author and TV personality (1970’s series called Use Your Head)
Version of a concept map, but a mind map uses one central key word with radiating concepts
Origins of Mind Mapping

Buzan suggests the following guidelines for creating mind maps (from Wikipedia)◦ Start in the center with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colors.◦ Use images, symbols, codes, and dimensions throughout your mind
map.◦ Select key words and print using upper or lower case letters.◦ Each word/image is best alone and sitting on its own line.◦ The lines should be connected, starting from the central image. The
central lines are thicker, organic and thinner as they radiate out from the center.
◦ Make the lines the same length as the word/image they support.◦ Use multiple colors throughout the mind map, for visual stimulation and
also to encode or group.◦ Develop your own personal style of mind mapping.◦ Use emphasis and show associations in your mind map.◦ Keep the mind map clear by using radial hierarchy, numerical order or
outlines to embrace your branches.

Highly creative—but with a systematic purpose
When doing Mind Mapping, others will be very interested in “what are you doing”
Use colors, use shortcuts, use pictures, use txt wrds and anything else that allows you to tell the story in the end
Start in center, upper right has 1st idea, then carry thru clockwise to other ideas
Practice it!
What I have found
SharePoint is highly hierarchical SharePoint relies on logical relationships It’s a friendly translation from a folder-
driven system
Mind Mapping and SharePoint
Items – Documents, Images, Pages, List items
Lists and Libraries Metadata Content Types Sites
Key Elements of SharePoint IA
350,000 pieces of content Subset of 65,000 600 sites One content type No managed metadata
The Set Up
Key Questions of Taxonomy Planning How would someone want to search it? How is it currently organized? What’s the current folder
structure? How would I want to categorize it? Who is it for? Should it be categorized by year or date? What makes my content special?
◦ Videos◦ Webinars◦ Press Releases◦ White Papers◦ Products
Mid-sized organization Public facing SharePoint Upgrade Highly-categorized content Site efficiency depended on faceted search
and aggregation
The Set Up
Common ones are ◦ MindMeister◦ MindJet◦ SimpleMind◦ Total Recall◦ MindNode◦ iThoughts◦ iBrainstormer◦ iMindMap (Tony Buzan’s)
Yes…There’s an app for that
