Method Neutral is defined as; “Multiple modes of information expressed within a flexible workspace”.
The term “method neutral” is an oxymoron, and IMO; it is a genius breakthrough approach to challenging existing perceptions to the data, information and knowledge development processes.
Graphical information management has been around for a while, and it has unfortunately continued to be restricted to the fringes of the mainstream. This is to a degree, due to a certain radiant technique being touted as being the “one size fits all” solution.

I seem to be pleasantly and very willingly diverted into conducting interviews of late. It’s a very enjoyable experience, as it places the interviewer and interviewee in a very intellectually intimate position of acceptance and trust.
John England the founder of Mindsystems is the consummate professional. I have known John for a relatively short span of time, and in this period he has indeed enabled me to glean much from his illustrious past relating to his careers. John has worn a few hats, and has performed his tasks with great success …

Being an information management consultant has its perks, and one of them is creating very meaningful relationships with many software developers, and having access to their excellent products.
They’re all great products for the most part, and some of these great applications just simply stick out in the crowded Visual mapping software arena. CS Odessa’s ConceptDraw line of products, IMO deserves closer attention. ConceptDraw is positioned in a tight group that may be termed the leading pack of Visual mapping applications.
I spoke with Olin Reams recently and asked him to answer …

We have simply been given much more flexibility through the use of cloud computing.
Regarding Visual mapping; cloud collaboration has exponentially increased the potentials for being more effective and productive. The cloud can become a repository (Data bank) for storing and sharing much of your information …

I am absolutely amazed at the lack of use, ignorance and even disregard of probably the most effective root cause process freely available.
It’s the “Interrogatives” of course; and they’re very rarely openly used out with academia, and even at that, they are hardly ever pushed as being the foundation for effective root-cause analysis.
If at all we are to see a shift in societal perceptions regarding information management and communication, I firmly believe we have to get back to basics and start with the interrogatives.
Just think about it for a moment; …

I am motivated to post this very short commentary based on what I have just watched on BBC Canada.  The program was a documentary regarding Norway’s laws, designating gender equality within all aspects of society.  The focus was aimed at women sitting as board members and directors.
Taking this facet of Norwegian society into consideration as a professional Visual mapper; I have had one of those epiphany moments where I have abruptly realised there are very few female professional visual mappers.  The potential reality though is that, I may indeed be …

Sitting in any vehicle; what’s the centre of visual control (Apart from keeping your eyes on the road PLEASE)? It’s the instrument panel, better known as the “dashboard”. Every vehicle has one, we require them and they give us an accurate measurement of performance and capability.

Does the image above overwhelm you? Well, the choice of software for the Information manager can indeed be overwhelming.
The collage contains a selection of software apps that are IMO worth the investigation. They are important enough to be termed the leading pack of the mind, visual and knowledge management software arena. Simply Google the names in the collage and you’ll get more info.
