Chic Thompson’s new book, What a Great Idea 2.0: Unlocking Your Creativity in Business and in Life, contains an intriguing mind map that caught my eye. It depicts three simple mind maps, side-by-side, that are joined together to show the relationship between them. From left to right, the central topics of these maps are causes, symptoms and results. Taken together, they provide a more complete view of your problem, challenge or opportunity.
