Reflection – Mindmapping 

 Challenge & Selection 

 The most used tool I used at work would be the mindmapping tool due to the need for constant   ideation . This provides a systematic approach to log everything that could be linked to the main   theme . With this tool , the final solution and how it connects to the main theme can be mapped out .   One of the most recent application is the mapping out of what goes into a certain application at   work , as part of the brainstorming session that we have . 

 Application 

 The theme was first selected . This was followed by what are the different things related to the main   theme . If the things are one or two levels down , linkages are drawn to show how they are   connected . Typically , once the ideas for a certain branch run out , the team will move on and come   back again to add on if there are relevant ideas discussed along the way . At the end of the day , once   the related ideas to the theme has been mapped , the team can look at categorizing them and   subsequent next steps . 

 Insight & Approach 

 Mindmap does not apply just for ideation . It helps to conceptualize thoughts and them into words   and show their relevant linkages . I think that beyond ideation , it can be used for root cause analysis ,   to pinpoint what could be the causal factors for certain things that happened . It is a generally useful   tool , which can be done on boards or readily available freeware . At the end of the day , I think a good   tool like this , as well as many others , should not be confined to what they were originally developed .   The key thing , as what is in this course , is to think out of the box and apply things as and when it can   be used .
