Context Organizer pinpoints salient information quickly

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

 

David Esko of ERP Blue Diamond owns a company specializing in providing knowledge and mind maps for SAP customers. His company developed hundreds of process and knowledge maps. Their preferred visualization tool is MindManager from Mindjet.

In the past few months David started to use Context Organizer for MindManager. Here are his comments:

Since I work in the SAP world as a project / program manager, my knowledge and process maps are exercised heavily!

I use Context Organizer extensively to generate summary information that relate to generation of sales and pre-sales content when researching industry vertical information as well as information regarding the latest best business practices and how the solution will apply to my prospect or client.

If I’m helping a sales effort, I can turn the summarized information that has been gleaned from very voluminous web sites, and spin a fact filled PowerPoint presentation so fast, most sales people wonder how I did it!

Best business practices are done in a similar way. In these instances, I need to go to multiple sources of data that are mostly web based, but also in huge Word documents and extract information regarding the way a prospect executes their business processes today (as is), but also compare it to future state business processes.

Two major time savers; first, older and voluminous ‘as is’ documentation needs to be summarized very quickly. My teams don’t generally waste a lot of our clients’ time on the way they perform their business processes today. That’s why we need to extract the salient information from their document archives quickly and extrapolate the critical from the non-critical information.

We compare the ‘as is’ results to the ‘to be’ future state and we can almost instantly identify where the bottlenecks might occur before diving into the project. The keywords for me are, proactive and pre-emptive! Context Organizer gives me these abilities!

Context Organizer in Comapping

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

 

Gene Bellinger uses Comapping - a mind mapping application - to manage numerous projects and collaborate with various teams. He is also the editor of SystemsWiki.
 
As we know reading articles in Wikis can be very arduous. This is where Comapping’s visual presentation power comes very handy!
 
Mind mapping offers a refreshing presentation that  is much easier absorbed by human brains then endless lists and bullet points. The power of mind maps is that they communicate conceptual relationships by creating clear visual structure and connectivity between relevant elements.
 
However, the challenge of actually drawing a mind map is quite considerable. Each element has to be rendered and labeled and  connected. And here comes the power of automatic mind mapping enabled by Context Organizer that now is integrated with Comapping.
 
In the Context Organizer in Comapping  post Gene provides a simple comparison of a Wiki page before and after automatic mind mapping. As you can see, the difference is startling: from a difficult  to read page to a clear visual and vibrant presentation done just with a click of a button.
 
This is what Gene says about the usability and accuracy of Context Organizer automatic mind mapping ability:
 
The keyword analysis and context generation to the right of those links [after] was generated with a single mouse click. I’ve reviewed the analysis on several documents and I think it’s spot on. What’s the math telling you?
 
 
With Context Organizer in Comapping you can instantly convert plain textual information into visually attractive mind maps with a simple click to have both: powerful knowledge mining and knowledge representation tool under your fingertips!

What can you do with Context Organizer?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

 

As we all know, the home page is "the most valuable real estate in the world" according to the usability guru Jakob Nielsen.

The homepage is your company’s face to the world. Improving your homepage multiplies the entire website’s business value, so following key guidelines for homepage usability is well worth the investment.

 

So I took another look at the Context Discovery home page. Certainly you can find there a lot of valuable information and links but reading requires to pay attention. And attention nowadays is at premium.

So I decided to use Comapping, a mind mapping tool, that uses also Context Organizer - the summarization tool that we highly recommend - and present the information visually.

So here is the mind map telling what Context Organizer does together with the links to the demos showing the tremendous value of summarization in the age of information wealth.  

 Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Contextualizing now integrated with Comapping

Monday, February 15th, 2010

 

Hypershiter, visual mapper and a blogger Wallace Tait writes about adding context to mind mapping. The point in case is the recent integration of Context Organizer with Comapping. Wallace writes:

The point of extracting context from Web Pages and documents is quite simple; we are overloaded with data, information and knowledge and we need to get to the point of the barrage of data that attacks us daily.

For the academic, the use of Comapping with Contextual Organizer will be invaluable, as the cloud gives you the ideal medium for creating, managing and sharing information and knowledge with your colleagues and students within a protected cloud space.

For the business user Comapping can become a very convenient information carrier and knowledge mapping tool; becoming a standard process and system tool for creating all relevant information associated with your business management system.

The addition of Contextual Organizer now gives you the ability to research Web Pages. With the insertion of a URL you’ll be offered an “Analyze” button and voila, the Contextual engine which uses the Amazon server extracts the contextual relevance for your research purposes.

Summarization is an effective form of text mapping

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008
 

With the Context Organizer for MindManager a text summary is instantly converted into a MindManager map without any loss of relevant text content.

The automatic map generation frees the user from tedious map charting while providing more opportunity to focus on shaping the visually mapped information.

 

Summaries lead the mind to focus on essential content. This enables faster evaluation and comprehension.  While summarising, the reader effectively engages in efficient contextual comprehension by gaining both the big picture and the detail expressions.

 
Summarization reveals text structures, while contextual associations are clearly revealed through highlighted keywords.
 
The Context Organizer provides the reader with the most relevant keywords as a guide to the most significant statements within the body of text.  The keywords work as quick filters enabling users to focus on the most relevant sentences of interest.
 
Further, the use of keywords navigates the reader through summarized content providing a superior visual format which is a more practical manager to rapid comprehension of content in context.
 
The advantage of using summarization for text mapping is that summarization provides the most accurate and direct text representation in the form of the most relevant keywords and sentences.
 
This direct approach by Context Organizer is superior to other graphical techniques which are abstract representations of text and always require further explanation.  Information mapping is a record of the reader’s comprehension, or lack of it. It’s not uncommon for graphical mapping to have little to do with the text, and the formats often used make it difficult to interpret, leaving too much for the reader to extrapolate and/or reconstruct.
 
Graphic organizers indeed have their place, I do however believe that summarization as a text mapping technique, effectively complements graphic organizers, by bridging the gap between texts and corresponding abstracted diagramming.
 
A summary as a text map provides superior expression for creating accurate and complete visual maps. This is one of the reasons that Context Organizer integrates seamlessly with Mindjet MindManager.
