Mindmap

One of the great ways of considering ideas is to make a mindmap. To make a great mindmap you need to:

• make sure everyone in the group has an opportunity to contribute
• record all the ideas, even if they seem unlikely or challenging
• avoid trying to discuss the solutions - that will come later
• let your mind make imaginative connections
• respect everyone's contributions - you can always discuss them in more detail later
• you don't have to have a central point - see where your ideas take you
• it can help to use images, words, phrases and expressions
• move your ideas around and think of new links
