A mind map is a diagram, or visual representation of ideas. Start by placing the main concept in the middle, and add branches to related ideas. In creating a mind map, individuals, teams, or whole organizations can discover how ideas relate to one another, helping to build more effective strategies and solve problems faster.
The three key components of a mind map are the central theme or concept, the ideas that surround it, and the relationship arrows that show how ideas connect to the central theme, as well as to one another.
Building a mind map is simple: Start with your central theme, and then collect or brainstorm ideas that are related to it — these can be organized into subcategories. Connect each idea to the central concept, and look for ways that these ideas relate to one another, as well as to the overall theme. This can involve various levels of research, as well as collaboration across teams or departments.
