Thank for the kind words about my website – and of course colour is spelled with a ‘u’

I too have large uncharted regions in my head – I often think of it as a big mass of spaghetti (which is why mind maps are great for teasing out some of the strands…)

Am I living proof that their is a ‘God’?…’cause it’s a miracle that I’ve survived this long! :- P

I reckon Google would have it’s work cut out with me…click the ‘Google Mind Maps’ link and follow the ‘Prompts’…Are you travelling by:

1) Prescription Drugs;

2) Illicit Drugs;

3) Express.

Yep! I reckon I’d have to be a prime candidate for the tools you have presented…thanks again Joanna :- )

Cheers

PS I like your website and the symbology (as I see it), embedded in ‘WorkinColour’. You even spelled ‘colour’ in ‘Osstraalyn’…nice…I especially like the Gold Fish. :- )

necessary maybe…messy definitely!

Nice one Joanna. A great article…though I reckon in my a case, a ‘Mud Map’ might be necessary :- P

Kapla! :- )

Thanks for your kind words…I am really delighted to be here! As for Mr de Bono and his box of hats, I do think the 6 thinking hats is a great tool, if used well (like all tools really…). I’ve used it in groups and on my own and had excellent results.

If you do a mind map, I’m sure you’ll remember where you left it I once left mine on a little beach in Turkey, but we were eventually reunited…

I run a lot of corporate workshops and team sessions on using creative thinking to tackle tough times – I absolutely believe that those who are prepared to adapt and change with the times, will not just survive but emerge from the other end better than ever. I believe creative thinking will increasingly be THE differentiator between successful and not-so-successful businesses.

I liked that post. Have you completed any consulting work for the small business community in regard to decision analysis and what to do in Tackling Tough Times. MYOB and Deloitte ran a seminar on using their software to run their business better, but it gave little thought to the creative side of increasing revenue
