Mind Maps were "invented" by Tony
Buzan. His TV series and book "Use Your Head"
started the mind mapping process in 1974. Since then
he has published
many more books on Mind Mapping and
provides consultancy to major businesses and
organisations. Here is a link to a
YouTube video by Tony Buzan talking about mind
mapping.
I have never met Tony but after reading " Use Your
Head" whilst on garden leave from Unilever in
1995, I have been using mind maps nearly every day since
then.I wish I had known about them in 1962 when I
attended my first school. What a difference it would have
made to the way I learnt. Fortunately mind mapping is
now part of the UK's National Curriculum as a learning
tool.
Here are some examples
of mind maps:
