Mindjet Mindmanager 8


Hi all.
I am lately trying to get the most out of the new Mindjet Mindmanager 8.
I am gratefully impressed about the new features. Currenly I am testing them and applying on my professional and personal life.
I think it is another step forward avoiding restrictions when one compares software made maps and hand-drawn ones, with this new version one gets more flexibility, more possibilities to boost up productivity.
I am also impressed about Web Services and I am trying to investigate how to generate more on that, any help or information is welcome.

Key Account Management


A friend of mine (Sergio Martinez Zarza), which has an extraordinary future in the management fields and which is currently working in Denmark for the Siemens Wind Power business, asked me about my opinion about key account management ideas.
I have gathered the different ideas that I have from this issue.

How to get an exponential growth in MM users?

Vic Gee is also committed to spread knowledge about mindmapping, not just into the mindmapping newsgroups community but also with the people, int order to bring them in this new world.
I think it is an extraordinary idea and also he is gathering comments in order to get exponential growth in the number of people using mindmapping. The prize for the best response it is a free copy of iMindmap.
Extraordinary idea.

Events and trips planning


I do usually plan my trips or events with a two or three months period (always I can) so I can take a perspective about the different weeks, in order to plan my work according to the goals that I have to achieve.
One of usages that I mostly do, it is planning these trips and events via mindmapping, so I can easily get back to them with simply a glance.
Also when I am outside the office and I need to remind events or trips, I used to remind the whole picture so I can, as a results, get the details and all the reservation status.

Maps for rethinking over and over


Lately I have an important event from my company within the region I am responsible for. I am collaborating meeting the multinational strategies to the points in which this region can take advantage of.
That suppose rethink over and over in different time schedules and with different people, also contrasting these ideas every day in the last month in order the get something consistent enough.
This format is helping me with, cause the map is not really fully overloaded with information.

Two Mindmapping styles


After a comment made by Robin Carper, I take the opportunity to explain in detail the two mindmap styles I used to work with.
Style no 1 is the one in the previous post, whenever I have a central idea and I must think over and over getting more ideas and relationships, that is the result from such a process. Examples of use: preparing meetings, speeches,...
Style no 2 is whenever I must attend a meeting, a conference,... where every detail counts on. In such a case, my mindmaps designs gather quite a lot information, and mostly I have no time to make drawings, but on the other hand I have the instrument to get details in the future. In the following picture you can get a live mindmap created within a meeting. I always try to transform the style no 2 in the style no 1 making a simpler map the next day.
