MindGenius aids thinking - it is designed specifically to deliver excellence
in managing techniques and methodologies capable of making businesses more
efficient and people more effective.
At the heart of MindGenius are the principles of MindMapping - a technique
created by Tony Buzan in the late 60’s, to help students learn and pass
exams. It gets information into your head in a way that makes it stick and
obviously this is a tremendous advantage when students & pupils are being
assessed or examined.
When Gael first looked at developing MindGenius in 1998 the objective was
different - how to access the knowledge, creativity and experience in our
own and our colleagues heads, exactly when needed. So, in comparison, whilst
the original use for MindMapping was to get information into heads our need
was for the exact opposite - get information out. What turned out to be amazing
was that, with minor adjustments, the MindMapping technique worked brilliantly
for this.
You will find that traditional MindMapping uses images / pictures, along
with associated information, to get detail to stick - in actual fact when
you use MindMapping to learn, you find yourself recalling the image when thinking
about the subject, and from that mental prompt you are able to flow with detail.
This explains why traditional MindMaps are rich in colour and images.
For us to use the technique to access knowledge, creativity and experience
we toned down the use of images and colour and focussed heavily on association,
connections and re-use of the information gathered in different layouts and
other applications. We found that images and colour became a distraction in
the thinking process and consequently we developed the original MindGenius
around our own needs. This explains why MindGenius Version 1 was largely image
free - although those can be added if you take the time to do so. This, more
than anything, explains how MindGenius is different to any other application
in the marketplace - it was designed to do something totally different from
traditional MindMapping.
MindGenius Version 2 was developed to do both - giving the user the choice
to fill it full of colour and images to aid in the process of learning,
however the default tones it right down to aid in the process of thinking
and getting things done.
Education professionals quickly identified MindGenius as being terrific for
students / pupils to express and communicate what they had learned - being
able to access and use what they have learned when required. It also proved
to be of huge benefit to teachers & lecturers in lesson preparation and
in brainstorming topics with their classes. In addition, school and further
education managers benefited from MindGenius in the same way that managers
in industry do. This has lead to huge growth in the Education sector, with
many schools across the country using MindGenius in the classroom and 280
Further Education establishments across the UK having installed site licences,
giving access to all students across their campus.
