Why after almost 40 years; do we have to explain what Mind mapping is to almost every colleague, client and potential we meet?
Most (not all admittedly) who look over my shoulder while I am graphically mapping out information, invariably ask, “What is that”. It does become rather tedious after a while; doesn’t it?
