Company Background

Mind map, its flag product, is a great mind mapping and brainstorming software, and serving more than a million users around the world. Our purpose is to develop the best productivity tool, save people's time and raise the efficiency. Mind mapping software was founded in 1998 by computer programmer Mike Jetter and his wife, Bettina Jetter, in order to support the development of their mind mapping software, Mind Manager. Jetter conceived of the idea for the first product while recovering from an illness in hospital, and began developing the program while living in Germany in 1994, aiming to simplify the creation and sharing of mind maps for business users.

Objectives of the plan

If we haven’t already done so, most of us are in planning mode and setting out business, departmental, team and personal objectives.

One definition of the term :-
                                          “Objective” is: “a statement of a specific result or outcome that a person is aiming to achieve within a defined timescale and within available resources”.

The same definition can of course apply to team or organizational objectives.

All around the globe, towards the end of 2013 and at the beginning of this New Year, many individuals, teams and organization have been harnessing the power of Mind mapping software to map out and, more importantly, focus on their plans, priorities and key objectives for the coming year. With that in mind, I decided to focus on the all important aspect of personal objectives for this month’s Newsletter and share some sample Maps with you.  Also included are some hints and tips on how Mind mapping software can be applied and add value to this area of work.

Vision

Do you remember the vision or mission statement of the last company you worked for? Did you actually understand all the bits that made up the vision, and why they were there?

If you’re anything like me (and everyone else employed at all the places I worked), then you probably didn’t really read or understand the vision statement, and it had no impact on what you did in the job or how you did it.

In many businesses, it’s like the owner or board of directors had a “planning seizure” one day and produced this document that got pinned to the wall somewhere, and has been steadfastly ignored ever since.

Well that whole scene changes when the vision statement is done using Mind Maps. The visual nature of the Mind Maps means that they are noticeable, colorful and easy to understand. The linkages between the overall company goals and the specific things that the company does to implement the things that lead to achieving the goals is clear. You can see at a glance what the company is all about and how they are going to achieve the vision.
