Delivery

A highly interactive and (we trust) entertaining workshop. Discussion, group work, shared presentations and whole group problem-solving are the means by which we intend to convey the value of mind-mapping.
Participants will have an opportunity to map problems or issues in their own workplace, with action plans resulting.
There will be a demonstration of a range of software support for mind-mapping.
