Just how useful are MindMaps when communicating to other people? [Cabre's Visualise, Organise & Publish with Mindjet MindManager : Graham Wilson]

Submitted by Andrew Wilcox from blog

Summary

It was seeing Andrew's post about the mindmap of the Question Time, that made me wonder just how acceptable MMs are to other people as a document?

On the train today, I was using a MM to build up the content of an article - but I wouldn't dream of using it to give to people - only as a tool for myself.

In the past, I have tried creating a couple of wall charts to present a topic but these were severely limited by the aesthetic quality of MMn or iMM and I vowed that another time I would hand-draw them instead.

I've never really got to grips with the use of either product to do presentations - getting the sequence right proved too much trouble and the challenge of navigating to and fro.

I wrote a couple of books using MMs as a tool to build the content of each chapter, and then incorporated them as summaries of the chapters, though I had to recreate them using Power Point as a drawing tool so I could give the publisher a suitable quality image.
