What’s it all about?
Today’s information environment demands that everyone saves time, improves efficiency and thinks
more creatively.
Mind Mapping is invaluable in a business environment. Most people do not recognise the versatility of
it as a tool that can be adapted to almost any task. It can be used in the office and at home. It can be
developed for individual or group perspectives.
You can revolutionise your life through pen and paper. Plan presentations, organise meetings,
generate ideas and take notes to name just a few. A Mind Map® presents information in an organised
and easy to follow format, on one page, simple for others to read and add their own ideas.
Mind Maps mirror the structure and function of the brain, which promotes free thought, encourages
creativity and makes information easier to remember. Above all Illumine Business Mapping saves time,
is highly practical and fun!
