Challenge 

 Mind mapping as a design thinking tool helps many of us in multiple situations . It can be used in   situations of various practices / activities or for organizing a personal or a family schedule or for   setting one ’s career goals . More importantly , one can also do a case study analysis using the   mind mapping tool . 

 I belong to an educational institution as an academic administrator . I understand that , in an   educational setting , both for teachers and for students , a tool , such as mind mapping can be very   helpful . However , there are always various ways to make these mind maps work for us in   varying situations . Here , I explain about using the mind mapping tool , when working on a case   study analysis as part of my course in the class . 

 Selection 

 Let us find out as to whether our students can and why should they use mind maps . 

 In one way or another , probably all the students have used mind mapping technique , while   studying .   It is natural for our brain to multitask and to perceive the information simultaneously .   When we look at a picture , we see it all at once as a composite image that consists of different   details and features . 

 We naturally think in pictures , or rather collections of images and associations . Let me illustrate   an example now . You see a brand advertisement like Ronald McDonald and you think of a big   mac , then further of fries and cola , which you may have ordered being in your car , when you saw   a lamp indicating the necessity of oil change . You think that you need to hit a gas station , maybe   the next morning . But unfortunately , you can not do it then as you have an important meeting in   the office that you have to attend . This is how Ronald McDonald brings you to the thought of a   work meeting . 

 On the whole , mind maps are very natural for our brain as they have similar connection structure .   That is why using these maps can improve all the processes connected to our brain activity ,   including studying processes . 

 Application 

 While discussing case studies in the class , it is usually based on the material students go through   in their class . A lot of information can be taken from the notes one makes during the lessons .   When you make notes in class , mind mapping can help you a lot . 

 All students make notes . Most of them write these notes as a simple text , sometimes highlighting   the key points . Such notes have several disadvantages , though : 

 •   They have a difficult structure or no structure at all . 

 •   They take a lot of time to make . 

 •   It is hard to remember something from such notes . 

 •   Creative parts of the brain are not stimulated , as when you only write down what your   teacher says word by word , you can barely get any associations in your head . 

 The main flaw of these notes is the lack of structure and key categories . Such papers look like   walls of words . Sure , you can highlight some things , but it does n’t help much . The primary   definitions are always hidden by the big amount of the text . 

 If you use mind maps for taking notes , you will remember the information more vividly ,   especially if you have a photographic memory . Here are the pros of making notes with mind   maps : 

 •   You get a clear structure . 

 •   You comprehend the information better . 

 •   You memorize the main categories and key points . 

 •   You get a logical summary . 

 •   You get a minimum text , etc . 

 Therefore , start preparing for making case studies beforehand by writing clear notes . Please find   below an example of using a mind map on pricing models . 

 Insight 

 The process itself – organizing the material 

 Mind maps can really help you , if you have a lot of different material taken from books ,   websites , magazines , encyclopedias , etc . If you are overwhelmed with loads of information and   do n’t know where to start , you can begin with making a mind map adding the information that   you have and the sources . 

 You can start your work with pointing out the main thought , fundamental idea or the message   of your case study analysis . If you clearly know what you are writing this paper for and what   conclusion you want to come to , the rest is all about the technique . 

 The next step is formulating the central thesis of the case study . They can be the subheadings of   your work . Then , you can just add any key ideas and thoughts to every subheading . At this point ,   your mind map will grow , and you will see the whole picture clearly . Thus , it will be much   easier for you to write the entire text of your case study analysis . 

 Approach 

 Using mind maps in case studies 

 Apart from using mind maps for preparing the material for writing a case study analysis , you can   use a map in the work itself . 

 You can either provide some information through a mind map ; duplicate some part of the text to   make it clear and visual or to summarize the whole work in a clever way . The teachers would   most likely appreciate such a creative approach to writing a case study analysis , so one would   definitely try it once . 

 For creating a mind map , try not to make it too complicated ; it may only confuse you and draw   you away from the main points . Sometimes it is easier to make several mind maps instead of   trying to fit too much information into just one . Or you might consider creating a concept map . 

 Using mind maps is not only a great thing for working on a case study analysis , but also an   excellent technique to use in other educational processes . You should work on your personal   style , as mind mapping is a creative activity that can be performed differently by different   people . 

 You can come up with your own ways of processing information and adding it to your maps . It   does n’t matter if your maps are distinct from the ones of other students ; every one of us thinks in   a different way . Let mind mapping show everyone the way he / she thinks .
