It’s not just writing/creative writing that benefits from the use of mindmaps. Related work – for example, the creation of small websites – involves numerous ideas, organising them, moving stuf about, changing connections between articles pages etc., as with the wikis Dan used originally.

Another good reason to use visual organisation in the corporate environment is that people get moved around and one is often called to complete a task originally started by someone else. Having the previous “owner’s” mindmap to hand makes the job a lot easier.
