Comment on Add Mind Mapping to your Technology Tool Kit by ianrudy

Wallace,

I agree with you on the “Method Neutral” approach allowing me to select how I want to view my information, but unfortunately the technology landscape hasn’t quite caught up to that yet. I constantly struggle with various sources of information in order to create relevant knowledge and understand patterns, but the tools just aren’t there yet. Mind mapping and visualization is an important first step though and your suggestions of uses are spot on. Nothing would please me more than to choose which interface I wanted to view my/company information, but more importantly be able to switch it depending on what “mode” I was in. I can’t wait to be able to switch the front end of a SharePoint portal into a virtual map, give me a Grokker/MindMap front end. Hey you might know this, there was a visual search engine technology that came out of CMU a few years back, what was the name of it and is it still around?

Thanks for the comment
Ian

While I agree a Mind map is an excellent over viewer, brainstorming app and presentation tool, it just doesn’t offer information management database capabilities for corporate business use.
Consider the “Method Neutral” approach to information management. I have found that information is what we want to manage rather than the graphical look and feel of the framework it resides in.
The look and feel is indeed important, but I firmly believe we have to understand, information has become a commodity that has a monetized value. This value can be handled within our respective “information economies” where we work and produce for our Business Management Systems.
Let’s use the “method neutral” approach, and move beyond Mind mapping.

Jinny,

I wish I had time to update it more.. but that “partner in a business” role is consuming to much of my time at the moment. Stay tuned though as I will be getting more active on here in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks,
Ian
