Gaining creativity with mind mapping

A simple, versatile tool that combines reason and intuition

Mind mapping is a simple and versatile tool for generating ideas by combining reason and intuition. It is one of the few tools that uses imagination and global vision. It allows you to link information together while giving it meaning.
