Brainstorming, project, and knowledge maps? I'm especially interested in the knowledge maps. I've been fairly successful using MindManager for brainstorming and projects, less so for long-term storage. Do you have good examples of each type of map you describe?

You create them once, fine tune them over time and then reuse them a long time (which is the whole point of a process). This is especially useful to preserve the knowledge that is never written down anywhere, but just inside people’s heads. A good example we had at Mindjet was when Matt our training specialist come on board. He was quickly up to speed, because all our training processes and organization was “persevered” in maps. Another example for knowledge maps are all kinds of check lists e.g. for job interviews, how to prepare a trade show and so on. One of our partners the <a href="http://www.knowledgecontinuity.org/" rel="nofollow">Knowledge Continuity Center</a> is spezialzing on working with companies to convert the knowledge people have and build map repositories from that.

Is it Workmap or Work Map? Are there any other terms for a work map; a workmap being a map that people use to create new information, such as land use, proposed routes, etc. thanks.
