Idea Maps #31-32 and Hint #12: Follow Up to Yesterday's Meeting Notes


This posting is a follow-up to yesterday's final version of Liza's meeting notes. Hint #12 involves when to re-create your idea map. Often times your purpose doesn't require this, but in Liza's case she was creating a useful document for public view. This gave her an opportunity to step back and think about the information she collected and how se could best display it. The top map was her black and white map where she gathered the information live. The bottom idea map is her intermediate drawing prior to the final version which is dosplayed in the July 30, 2007 posting.

Idea Map #2


This week I received an idea map from Ken Robert, a creative career coach. Following is his description of this map:


"I use idea maps to review the assignments my clients complete and send to me before a creative career consultation. I look for repeating themes that stand out and research ideas tailored to their personalities and passions. More detail comes out during the session, but these maps really help me pull together every thing they provide prior to the session."
