Given the highly competitive and fast paced nature of the technology industry, Mind Map techniques and visual thinking can greatly enhance creativity, innovation and speed to action. In addition, they provide a framework for LifeLong learning where the pace and volume of change can quickly become overwhelming. It is very clear that what has been learned in the past 5 years will be greatly changed and affected by what will occur in the next 5, so clear strategies for collating, processing and synthesizing new knowledge will be critical to greater cognitive flexibility.
