ケース スタディ
プロジェクト

We were faced with few resources to perform a Herculean task. The relationships between and among the members had to be clearly mapped out so that everyone in the consortium and potential funding agencies could clearly understand what we were trying to create and how we would organize the work. I had tried to do this all with just words. But it was too complex. They say a picture is worth 1000 words. If that's true, then visual maps are worth 5000 words."

MindManager has saved our internal customers a lot of time previously spent plowing through big documents to figure out where to begin (projects). It has also saved our department a lot of time trying to communicate our ideas with business units and other internal IT customers. Finally, it has reduced the amount of time needed to implement the project because it helps facilitate communication."

There are lots of applications and project management tools out there that give you a hierarchical view of information. But what you lose with these tools is the ability to see the whole picture--or just a piece of the picture at a time. MindManager allows us to see both, and that's a real benefit."
管理上の計算

MindManager allows us to flowchart business processes in an iterative and interactive fashion. It helps you visually and clearly analyze where your bottlenecks are and where there is scope for improvement. All of this is possible because you are in an interactive environment where the processes are mapped out visually."
教授

If you can’t capture the interactivity of the classroom you are encouraging a passive form of teaching. MindManager, on the other hand, has allowed me to integrate student responses and ideas right onto the screen– and at the same time manage the big picture and the small details."

MindManager enables faculty, with very little training, to create powerful images to depict complex information and relationships. Once they begin using this kind of visual technology, other ways of managing information seem crude by comparison."

Too often in education, we ask students to memorize facts –without helping them understand the relationships between the facts. By putting the information into a single MindManager map, they start seeing the big picture."

MindManager enabled me to quickly extract key concepts from literally thousands of papers and books, and then connect them to others with similar concepts—and I can do it all in a single map."
戦略計画

Companies hire us because we prove to them that we thoroughly understand the [complex] problems they face and can quickly devise innovative solutions. MindManager has given us an affordable and easy-to-learn tool to do both. MindManager saves us a great deal of time, and time is money."

The interesting thing--the real breakthrough MindManager provides--is that it enables us to essentially extend our initial creative brainstorming right into the meeting with the customer. Unlike slide presentations where it's basically a one-way information flow, MindManager enabled us to really open up a dialog with the university."

Before I started using MindManager, it would have taken me one week to put notes into some kind of organized form, another week to decipher the opportunity in an intelligible format, then one more week for us to digest everything and come to a decision. MindManager allowed us to accomplish in four days what used to take three weeks. That is really powerful."

The net result is that Mindjet MindManager helps me do in an hour the kind of strategic business planning that used to take me days."

The (MindManager) mapping approach increased participation and excitement around process improvement, and made these meetings highly productive."

If there are eight to ten people sitting in a room and we can knock a half hour off the meeting, then we're really saving time. People can refer back to one map that has all the project ideas, action items, and related documents. And the maps become agendas for subsequent meetings."

We used to drop our project plans into either spreadsheets or text documents to get all our task lists organized—and then put it all into project management software. It was pretty hard moving things around, though, as project conditions changed. But with MindManager, I have the flexibility of being able to move things around and label things quickly. That’s what I really love about it."
