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!

On February 23^rd, 2010, Mindjet announced MindManager for SharePoint.  Michael Deutch writes on the Mindjet blog:

MindManager for SharePoint provides faster and easier ways to find, organize and update SharePoint tasks and information. With MindManager for SharePoint, you can create personalized interactive views (maps) of SharePoint data to save time accessing and updating your content within SharePoint.

Context Discovery Inc. is glad to announce that Context Organizer for MindManager supports SharePoint. The same capability of automatic generation of MindManager maps by Context Organizer is extended to SharePoint users.

Context Organizer for MindManager for SharePoint summarizes SharePoint documents and pages and instantly renders them as mind maps.

The primary challenge knowledge workers face is to make sense from reams of documents in SharePoint.  The automatic map generation frees the user from time consuming map charting while providing more opportunity to focus on shaping and editing the visually mapped information.

Using the build-in summarization, the MindManager and SharePoint users get to their key information faster, saving precious time and energy.

Context Organizer summarization is a powerful add-in to the knowledge worker’s toolbox. 

Context Organizer for MindManager with SharePoint is available in English, French, German and Spanish.

Alexander Graham Bell  an eminent scientist, inventor, engineer and innovator who is credited with inventing the first practical telephone was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh.

Bell’s father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech, and both his mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell’s life’s work.

His research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first U.S. patent for the telephone in 1876.

In retrospect, Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study.

Many other inventions marked Bell’s later life, including groundbreaking work in optical telecommunications, hydrofoils and aeronautics. In 1888, Alexander Graham Bell became one of the founding members of the National Geographic Society.

An effective summary is highly readable. It provides a way to gain quick understanding.

Summarizing is important for strategic readers because it helps rapidly grasp the meaning of text. Providing accurate and concise presentation of the original text’s most important points is at the heart of helpful summaries.

The extracted keywords serve as a powerful checklist guiding your eyes from one relevant point to another relevant point.

In effect the long original text is reduced without missing the main points and without distorting the meaning and intentions of the original version. The ability to identify the key topics and sentences is Context Organizer’s most essential capability.

To navigate the map just click on the " + " or "  - " markers to expand or contract the map.

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.

Gene Bellinger uses Comapping – a mind mapping application - to manage numerous projects and collaborate with  geographically dispersed  teams.

Comapping recently added a feature that automatically creates mind maps from web pages and documents. The feature is called “Analyze”. Gene decided to give Analyze a spin. Here are his comments in his SystemWiki.org blog: 

While I have been continually amazed by Comapping they just added a new feature that is most amazing and for which I think experience is the only way to grasp the full utility of. The feature is called “Analyze”.

Imagine being able to attach a URL to a node in a mindmap and then telling the software to analyze the content of the node and build you an outline of the content based on an analysis of the relevance of the content.

Hard to grasp? I found it difficult to understand until I tinkered with it for a while. I’m still amazed! And you can attach a text, word or pdf document to a node and have it do the same analysis and build a content outline based on relevance directly into the mindmap.

If anybody is interested in learning how Analyze works with Comapping, here is more information about the Analyze feature in Comapping. And here is more information and examples of the auto-mapping capabilities.
