Concept Maps

Mapping ideas and concepts is usually a very valuable way of assessing the strength and logical flow of aspects of a new innovation. I have used concepts maps and mindmapping extensively when developing strategies, designing process flow, and conceptaully laying out new organisation interactions.

CMapTools from IHMC is a brilliant tool to use for modelling in detail concepts and new innovations. It can be downloaded from www.Cmaptools.com

Taking a idea to the next level involves modelling it in some way. A mindmap is great way of capturing the brainstorming of an idea. Concept mapping is the next level of detail to model the utility of the idea to a target market.
