Nov 17

Posted by MichaelDeutch in Mind Map Examples, MindManager, Mindjet, News & Events

11-17-2009 9-08-33 AMLast week, I delivered a webinar presentation to David Allen’s GTD Connect community.

For a full replay of the webinar and to view all the content, sign up for a free trial of GTD Connect or, if you’re already a member, view it here.

I’ve posted (via SlideShare) the highlights of the presentation below… Read the rest of this entry »

Posted by MichaelDeutch in MindManager, MindManager for Mac, MindManager for Windows, Mindjet, Mindjet Catalyst, Tips n' Tricks

Sharing“Infinitely more important than sharing one’s material wealth is sharing the wealth of ourselves – our time and energy, our passion and commitment, and, above all, our love.”

Mindjet CEO Scott Raskin in Fortune’s BRAINSTORM TECH: Closing the Innovation Gap

Oct 5

Posted by MichaelDeutch in Mindjet, News & Events

scott-raskin_mindjetHow do you unleash the creativity of your resources in today’s work environment?

Tools like Twitter and other social networking are great methods to generate and exchange ideas, but fail to help you move from idea into a strategy or execution plan.

And, join the conversation either here or on the Fortune blog. We’d love to hear your thoughts!
