In this video we will explain what mind mapping is and its different supports.

00:00:13

Then we will observe how it can be used

00:00:15

in meetings to synthesize information and lead group reflections.

00:00:21

What is mind mapping?

00:00:23

Mind mapping is a powerful technique that helps you visualize

00:00:27

your thoughts and ideas and communicate them to others.

00:00:31

It is a tool for visualizing information in the form of a map

00:00:36

that allows you to both

00:00:38

see the big picture and go into detail.

00:00:42

The map also allows you to organize ideas using both the left brain,

00:00:47

analytical,

00:00:48

rational,

00:00:49

linear,

00:00:50

and the right brain intuitive,

00:00:52

visual,

00:00:53

and creative.

00:00:54

Memorization is therefore made easier.

00:00:58

At the center of your card,

00:01:00

you write down the subject and then gradually you build branches with your ideas.

00:01:06

The advantage is that you can constantly create,

00:01:10

group,

00:01:10

and reorganize your ideas.

00:01:12

It's a very flexible tool.

00:01:15

You can draw your own maps by hand on a flip chart

00:01:19

or use a MindMap software.

00:01:21

You will find many of them where basic versions are free Mindmeister,

00:01:27

00:01:32

For my part,

00:01:33

I prepare all my videos and conferences with a mind map.

00:01:37

I also take notes in my coaching sessions with a mind map.

00:01:41

I build my company's strategy with a mind map.

00:01:44

I plan my tasks and those of the team with a mind map.

00:01:48

I brainstorm with my teams through a mind map.

00:01:52

The mind map encourages the free flow of ideas.

00:01:56

It is the ideal format for brainstorming

00:02:00

and creative problem solving.

00:02:03

When can you use mind maps in meetings?

00:02:06

In meetings you can use the visual support that is the mind map for everything.

00:02:11

To prepare your meeting,

00:02:12

you make a summary card sopped up,

00:02:15

for example.

00:02:16

You can have it in front of you to start your meeting.

00:02:20

As a reminder,

00:02:21

write down key words and not whole sentences.

00:02:25

To inform during the meeting,

00:02:27

draw 4 branches on the four subjects to be discussed

00:02:31

and write down the key words

00:02:34

that will help you find what you want to say,

00:02:37

to take notes on the exchanges and decisions of the meeting and

00:02:41

thus easily send the minutes of the meeting in a mind map.

00:02:45

To brainstorm,

00:02:46

you write down all the participants' ideas on a question.

00:02:50

Everybody can read the ideas together on the screen

00:02:53

and bounce off them to bring new ideas.

00:02:57

Then group the answers by theme and add a

00:03:00

title to the themes you have chosen to explore.

00:03:03

To establish a detailed action plan,

00:03:06

the tasks,

00:03:07

and the name of each person involved in an action.

00:03:10

Mind mapping is really a tool that I

00:03:13

recommend to run your meetings more efficiently.

00:03:17

It takes less than 15 minutes to learn its basic and fundamental functions.

00:03:23

You will find many introductory videos on the net.

00:03:26

Your meetings will take on a new color.

00:03:29

For your online meetings,

00:03:31

I recommend Mindmeister.

00:03:34

Mindmeister is a full featured collaborative

00:03:37

mind mapping and brainstorming tool.

00:03:40

Mindmeister allows you to share your mind maps with your teams at a distance.

00:03:45

And collaborate with them in real time

00:03:48

whether you're in a face to face meeting or thousands of miles away,

00:03:52

everyone can see the changes made to the map immediately.

00:03:56

You can decide who can edit the mind map or only view it.

00:04:01

Employees can quickly comment on ideas,

00:04:04

vote on ideas,

00:04:05

or discuss changes in the built-in chat.

00:04:08

This Mindmeister application integrates easily with Meister task,

00:04:13

a task and project management application.

00:04:18

Projects decided on in Meinmeister are transformed into tasks

00:04:23

that can be carried out on Meister task.

00:04:25

In short,

00:04:26

the mind map.

00:04:28

I recommend it.
