MindManager

First created in 1994 and now with over 2 million users worldwide, including over half of the Global 2000 and Fortune 500 Corporations’ such as Boeing, BMW, Ford, Hewlett Packard, KPMG, Microsoft, Motorola, Rolls Royce & Siemens, MindManager (formerly ‘Mindjet’) software is the worlds leading information (“mind”) mapping software and we have been power users for over 20 years (since version 4 (MindManager 2002) actually!).

There are plenty of other (some even free) software tools out there if all you want to do is “mindmapping” on computer, however only MindManger has the range and depth of ‘information cartography’ tools we need to create our unique knowledge maps. Thus for us not only is MindManager still ‘the best in class’, it remains in a class of it’s own and as power users for over 20 years, we can offer a range of MindManger services to help others get the most from this amazing software tool!

We have an great range of public domain knowledge maps such as world atlases and calendars available ‘off the shelf’ from our digital download mapstore. Need to create your own maps? We also offer a bespoke MindManager mapping service for clients.

If you’ve already started on your map making journey, we can use our expertise to audit & optimise your existing MindManager map libraries and map-making processes and suggest ways to optimise them to maximise your efficiency.

Along with our fellow partners in the MindManager International Value Added Partner (MIVAP) Network, we have over a century of collective expereince and are able to offer a complete MindManager consultancy service on all aspects of the software – from training for beginners on how to get started to taking it to the next level for existing users, to extending functionality through the development of bespoke MindManager macros and add-ons.

As an official MindManager Partner we are also a value-added reseller of MindManager software. This means we are able to not only sell the software at an official partner discount compared to the recommended retail price, but also bundle it with any of our aforementioned consultancy services to help make sure you get the most from this amazing software tool!

"Off The Shelf" MindManager Map Content

As part of our ongoing mission to “connect people with the information they need to know using maps (of all sorts)”, we have created public domain knowledge maps of fundamental concepts that humans use to structure and make sense of the world – such as geographic space and time – and then we publish them in the world’s only digital download knowledge map store so that people can more easily structure and make sense of the world, as well as find out the knowledge they need to know about it in order to do what they need to do, quicker easier and with a lot less stress…

Maps are available in both MindManager and HTML5 format so you don’t need to be a MindManager user to get started on your visual knowledge journey. If you do want to take it a bit further though you can easily get hold of a fully functoning 30 day free trial copy of MindManager here. Even if you don’t decide to purchase a licence, it will still work as a free map reader for store maps in MindManager format in perpetuity.

If you have an urgent requirement for a particular public domain information map and it’s not in our store, then we may be able to create it and add it to our store inventory (if the information is “out there” to be mapped of course and we think it will add to the public good).

Please contact us directly to let us know of any MindManager maps you think should be added to our store.

Bespoke MindManager Map Content

We love creating information maps and, due to the range of layouts, formatting tools and information embedding options that MindManager has compared to other information mapping software, these can take many different forms and fulfill many different purposes.

What we love most about our maps is that they provide a cartographically designed, “visual knowledge framework” that enable users to:-

discover information of potential use to them more intuitively.
put / keep it within a “bigger picture” context.
add thier newly discovered information to it and make it their own. For example our atlas maps and calendar maps help users organise information by geographic space and time.

Please contact us directly to discuss your bespoke MindManager map requirements.

MindManager Consultancy

We have over 18 years experience with using MindManager. When we first started using it it soon became our ‘go to digital tool of first resort’ for working visually with any sort of information. Even though dozens of ‘mindmapping’ software tools have emerged on the scene since then, MindManager remains our no 1.

New / Aspiring Users – Let us set you up with MindManager software licenses and sufficient training to get you started using it for your own benefit We can provide ongoing “as-and-required” traing and advice to help you as you gain confidence in its use.

Existing Users – Let us help you take your MindManager use to the next level. Perhaps extending your use of MindManager to other areas of your business with a mixture of bespoke new knowledge framework maps and templates, add-ins and ongoing training and advice.

Please contact us directly to start your MindManager journey.

MindManager Map Audits & Optimisation

Information mapping is a great tool, but just like anything else it takes time & practice to develop your skills and your own way of doing things that works best for you and your organisation. In the process a lot of maps can be created that can get a bit out of control if left unchecked, especially if there are a lot of engaged and enthusiastic MindManager users involved!

Let us use our expertise to audit your existing MindManager map libraries and map-making processes and suggest ways in which they can be streamlined to maximise your efficiency.

Please contact us directly to discuss your MindManager map optimisation requirements.

MindManager Training

Take your MindManager skills to the next level with one-on-one or group training tailored to your circumstances and desired outcomes and delivered online or onsite.

Software Focused Training – We will walk and talk you through the different feature-sets of MindManager from basic “how to get started using MindManager” for complete beginners. through “I know my way around now, show me how to take it to the next level” for intermediates who are comfortable with using the basic features, to “Becoming A MindManager Master” for those who really want to take it to the max! We can include MindManager add-ins if appropriate.
Application Focused Training – Learn how to apply MindManager feature-sets to get what you want to do done! From “MindManager for Job Role X”, to “Using MindManager to Achieve Outcomes X,Y and Z” type training tailored to you and your organisation. We can incorporate your existing maps and practises into the training.

Training sessions can be delivered in a variety of ways

Remote Skype & Screenshare – works well with one-to-one training
On-premise – We can train individuals at their desk, or groups can be trained together in a suitably sized room that clients can provide on their premises or locally. Ideally sessions are “Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)”, however training can take place in IT suites if the software is installed.

You can bring your own maps to the training session so you can apply your new skills there and then to your current projects and realise immediate benefit. Our coach will be happy to give you some advice.

Please contact us directly to discuss your MindManager training requirements.

MindManager Macro & Add-in Development

MindManager is already a great digital information mapping software tool “out of the box”, but it is also currently the only one of its type that has a rich, well documented API (Application Programming Interface). This makes it possible to develop macros and add-ins that greatly extend its capabilities in bespoke ways…

“Off-the-shelf” – There is already a great range of “off-the-shelf” MindManager add-ins available, most of which have been created by fellow members of the Mindjet International Value Added Partner network. We can offer help and advice in using these add-ins to extend the benefits you get from MindManager.
Custom – We can also commission the creation of new add-ins on your behalf from our partners once we understand what it is you wish to achieve (see our wheel re-invention abhorence above ;-).

Please contact us directly to discuss your MindManager macro & add-in requirements.

MindManager Licensing

As a Mindjet International Value Added Partner we are also a value-added reseller of MindManager software. This means we are able to sell the software at an official partner discount compared to the recommended retail price.

There are further discounts for volume licensing of MindManager Enterprise (>10 users), as well as discount rates for Government / Academic / Charity users.

Why MindManager?

There are many reasons as to why MindManager is the ‘go to digital tool of first resort’. It is usually the ‘business mapping software’ uses that come to mind – mindmapping, brainstorming, project & program management – however as you will see in this section, there are many others.

Why We Use MindManager

When we first started using MindManager over 20 years ago it was for those classic business mapping uses, and it soon became our ‘go to digital tool of first resort’ for working with any sort of information. However we were always struck by the similarities in the processes of mapping ‘business information’ and the traditional ‘geographic information’ mapping we had hitherto been involved with.

And so began our development of MindManager as an information cartography tool, capable of ‘capturing’ pretty much any ‘space’ of human interest and endeavour (be it physical, virtual, conceptual or whatever) – the ‘things’ that occupy the space, the spatial inter-relashionships between them and the links to the multiple public domain knowledge resources about them – in a single map, or series of inter-linked maps.

And even though many other ‘mind mapping’ tools have emerged into what is now a very crowded space over the years, both ‘standalone’ software or an ‘online service’, MindManger remains our main knowledge mapping tool. There are a couple of reasons for this. Firstly it has always grown as the wider technology has (eg. the integration with first Microsoft SharePoint and now Teams). Secondly – and this is the most important one – no other software has such a wide variety of ‘visual channels’ to attach / embed information in a map. Most of these features are unique to MindManager and it is these that we use to take our ‘information cartography’ to the next level…

Wide Variety of Map Layout Styles (even at individual branch level)

Not only does MindManager offer an unrivalled number of different map layouts – ‘traditional’ (radiating from the centre) mindmap, organisation chart, timeline etc. – the layout of individual branches & sub-branches can be separately styled, no matter where they are in the hierarchy.

Big Maps

MindManager maps can have 1000’s of branches (the biggest one we have created so far has 20,000+). This has been enough for us to knowledge map the solar system and all the countries of the world, so it’s usually more than enough to map the ‘whole universe’ of most users.

Variably Formatted ('Rich') Branch Text

By being able to variably format individual elements within the text of a single branch, visual hierarchies can be created, which means it can contain a greater amount of more diverse information without visually overwhelming the viewer eg. including unique identifying codes (taken from official sources) as well as the name.

Variably Formatted ('Rich') Branch Notes

Likewise the supplementary note that can be attached to a branch can contain all the visually rich rich elements of a word processed page – variably formatted (‘rich’) text, tables and images.

Multiple Hyperlinks On A Single Branch

MindManager has the unique ability to attach multiple hyperlinks to a single map branch. This means that 1) maps need fewer branches so are less visually cluttered; 2) a single branch can become a mini knowledge portal in it’s own right; 3) links to core knowledge resources can remain with the branch when it’s re-used in other maps (whether or not it’s the key focus of that map).

Embedded Spresdsheets / Charts

**IMAGE NEEDED**

Small spreadsheets (10’s of rows) can be embedded within a branch and is another way of adding contextual facts & figures to the map. If constructed correctly it can be turned into a chart, and the user can toggle between table and chart view as appropriate.

Embedded Single Data Cells ('Topic Properties')

Multiple data fields (akin to single cells in a spreadsheet) can be embedded within a branch and is another way of adding contextual facts & figures to the map. Also the field values can be used to visually format the individual branch eg. if the value is > a particular number then make the branch text / fill this colour, or this shape (this is equivelant to ‘thematic mapping’ in GIS)…

Index Marker Tags

Arranged into groups and attached to individual branches as appropriate, index marker tags add contextual knowledge. Maps can be filtered to show / hide branches with specific tags. The Index Marker Pane can also be used to internally navigate around the map.

Visual Formatting With Topic Styles

** CONTENT NEEDED**

Visual Formatting With Smart Rules

‘Smart Rules’ enable any branch in a map to be individually visually formatted – colour, shape etc. – based on some aspect of the branch content. So not just the values in a single data cell, but specific branch text, attached index marker tags. (This is equivelant as the ‘thematic mapping’ process in GIS).

Easily Import And Map External Content

Integration with Microsoft OFfice tools has always been at the heart of MindManger and it’s always kept apace of developments. There are many applications of this but for map making purposes it enables easy importing of data to create a map eg. an Excel spreadsheet.

Easily Reuse Map Content In Whole Or In Part

**IMAGE NEEDED**

Use and re-use all / any any of the content of the map in other maps as appropriate. So not just whole branches with their sub-branches, but individuala embedded / attached elements like spreadsheets / charts, data fields, hyperlinks etc. This could be a simple, one off ‘copy & paste’, or creating a map part that is saved to your parts library so that it is instantly accessible to be added to any map without recourse to the original source map.

HTML Export

MindManager can export maps as HTML5 (.html) files which retain all the content – and most of the interactivity – of the original eg. they can be interactively queried by filtering using index marker tags to hide / show / highlight the coresponding branches. And, just like any other html file, they can be… 1) viewed by anybody, in any modern internet browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safara etc.), on or offline (once downloaded), on any device; 2) shared by email or file sharing services (eg. DropBox); 3) published online as stand-alone web pages, such that they have their own URL (which can be shared), or even embedded within existing pages (and hosted somewhere else eg. the aforementioned URL).

Only one with an API

MindManager is the only software of it’s type with an API, which allow the creation of ‘add-on’ tools that further extend the range of it’s abilities by 3rd parties eg. the MAP tool from our MIVAP partner Olympic.

Why Others Use MindManager - Online Reviews

Here are some online reviews left by new and experienced MindManager users…

I used MindManager to create maps and charts for my teaching curriculum. It allows me to visualize all the content I need to teach and the time it will take me to accomplish the schedule. I have to change several times because of COVID-19, I could not teach certain topics, and it was easy to modify everything needed without starting a new plan and charts.

We use MindManager to diagram cloud networks for customers. MindManager allows us to provide the customer with a high-level overview of their AWS or Azure systems and drill-down into specific services. We also use MindManager to diagram the security components of the systems. Compliance mandates are identified and outlined at a high-level with drill-down or linking to specific policies.

One of the best tools for running a business! I utilize MindManager to build templates and tools for my business. Everything from strategic business plans to product/offering roadmaps starts on MindManager. It is an excellent tool for organizing thoughts and building outlines, and then dropping in the content necessary to complete the plan. It is one of the better tools I have come across. I started using MM back in 1998 when I was building the business plan for funding of my internet startup. I raised $8m in funding with the business plan I built. I have used it ever since!

MindManager is a program that will be come one of your most unlikely friends! I use it for outlining problems; I put all my talk outlines on MindManager. When we brainstorm as a team, I always take notes with it. And for challenging decisions, a mindmap is my go-to tool. Finally, when we come up with a structure of a project, the tree/mindmap is a perfect way to map it.

Creates clarity out of chaos! I have been using MindManager for over 10 years at various companies. It helps me with the critical analysis of both product management and product marketing. I use it to poll problems and symptoms out of stakeholder groups then structure complicated projects in to actionable phases. I also use it to develop product messaging source documents as well as product roadmaps.

MindManager - the center of my digital life! MindManager is the go-to application for at the beginning of "everything". Catching ideas, creating and managing ToDo list(s), planning projects, outlining articles, writing projects, and other business and personal activities. I integrated my MindManager tasks with Google Calendar, MS One Note, and Excel. In short I "live" on MM.
