A Mind Map is a diagram used to represent concepts, ideas, tasks or other items linked to a central theme. In a Mind Map, the central theme is often illustrated with a graphical image. The ideas related to the main theme radiate in a clockwise direction from that central image as "branches". Topics and ideas of lesser importance are represented as "sub-branches" of their relevant branch.

A Mind Map is perfect for

- Brainstorming, visualizing and organizing ideas

- Streamlining decision making and critical thinking

- Outlining reports, agendas, strategies, marketing plans, etc.

- Creating storyboards and business presentations
