Tony Buzan Mind Map Applications for Clear and Creative Thinking

Faced with complex and ever changing challenges, organizations realize that on-going innovation is critical to staying ahead of competition in a globalized economy. This is why it is critical to be on the lookout for new ideas to drive service innovation constantly. Therefore the ability for employees to think clearly, generate new ideas and spark innovation within a team becomes an essential skill.
Research has shown that the human brain has a much larger ability and potential than we think. Yet the one potent resource which each of us readily possess is by no means fully tapped or developed.
