Rapidly visualize information with Context Organizer for MindManager

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Mark Durieux who teaches sociology and authored Social Enterprenuership for Dummies uses Context Organizer for Mindjet MindManager. 
 
This is what Mark wrote about Context Organizer for MindManager:
 
“I thought you’d like to see something of how I’m using Context Organizer. In the first case (http://www.ourstory.com/thread.html?t=363005#448785), I used Context Organizer to help sift through an enormous amount of information regarding the recent cartoon racism controversy which, for many, linked President Barack Obama to the shooting of a chimpanzee in Connecticut. This was all over the internet for at least a couple of days and I had collected more than 40 single-spaced pages of excerpts and links.
 
In another case, I looked at the incident of the 3 year old boy who rode the NYC subway all by himself after leaving his mother at a McDonald’s (http://www.ourstory.com/thread.html?t=362728#448291).
 
Again, this was all over the internet and I’d collected many pages of excerpts and links. At any rate,  the point is that I have developed a workflow that lets me identify major ideas and themes in those huge compilations and then, around those themes and thanks to Context Organizer, quickly identify key sentences saturated with key words. From there , it is only a matter of minutes and some rearranging until I’m able to turn the meaningful and "rich" condensed information into a useful summary. Thanks a million for this terrific piece of software!”

User experience with Context Organizer for MindManager

Friday, February 27th, 2009
 

Gijs van Beeck Calkoen from Stoutmoedigdenken.org uses Context Organizer with Mindjet MindManager. Gijs runs the Practice for Bold Thinking to help companies and governments to solve stubborn problems such as search for new concepts and products, and focus their organization on innovation.
 
Gijs recently started to use Context Organizer for MindManager and dropped me this note:
 
It is a wonderful program to work with MindManager 8. Today I had an amazing experience. I used it to set up  a presentation about "Making innovation work in organisations" . I mindmapped some keywords; I used in Mindmanager 8 the Google/Yahoo linker, got the top 10 websites, inserted into Context Organizer, got from the summaries new ideas and aspects to consider and also new keywords for further search. In 1 1/2 hrs I got an broad overview on the subject, …and some home reading work for weeks….but by using Context Organizer it should be much, much less.

Christmas in January with Context Organizer

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009
  
Kyle McFarlin from The Underlying Blog provides a quick review of how Context Organizer automatically generates MindManager maps and turns users into champion speed readers.
 
Here is Kyle’s review of Context Organizer: Christmas in January with Context Organizer.
“with Context Organizer you are able to quickly get the context of attached documents as well as web sites right within MindManager 8, that are visually displayed as topics and subtopics.”
 
In fact, I think the output from Context Organizer is very similar to what speed-reading programs are trying to get you to pick up on.
 
One aspect of Context Organizer is to make the document work for the user so to speak and provide instant information capsule so the user at a glance can decide if the document is of interest and value.
 
Context Organizer is ideal for executives, managers, administrators, researchers, web surfers, students, writers, journalists, policy makers – people needing to rapidly absorb large amount of information quickly and without being lost in unnecessary details

62 percent of professionals report sifting through irrelevant information

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

 

New Work and New Work Skills by Tony Karrer

1-Sentence Summary* 

A recently released Workplace Productivity Survey, reported by MSNBC, had the following findings: 62 percent of professionals report that they spend a lot of time sifting through irrelevant information to find what they need;    
             
68 percent wish they could spend less time organizing information and more time using the information that comes their way.
 
Indeed, the key in dealing with volumes of data is to be able to select smartly what in fact is relevant and useful versus fluff.
 
One of the technologies that helps with weeding out irrelevant information is automatic text summarization. Summarization is kind of speed-up reading  condensing web pages, emails and documents into keywords and summaries presented in context.
 
By pointing to the most important content, it allows the readers to make quick determinations if they want to read the full text.

Go on High-Information Diet

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Go on High-Information Diet by Dustin Wax

1-Sentence Summary* 

The phrase “information overload” gets more than 1.5 million hits on Google. Listen: in order to be information, an input must make you better informed. We are a nation of people who constantly react to the various inputs in our lives in the absence of information.

The fact that Google brings a huge list of links to follow can be an advantage but only if you have some tools that will help to rapidly summarize the essential content. The key in dealing with volumes of data is to be able to select smartly what in fact is concrete and useful versus fluff.

One of the technologies that may help is automatic text summarization. It speed-up reading by condensing web pages, emails and documents into keywords and summaries presented in context. By pointing to the most important content, it allows the reader to make quick determinations if they want to read the full text.

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.

A summary is worth a thousand of words

Thursday, August 28th, 2008
 
A summary is a shortened version of the original. The main purpose of such a simplification is to highlight the major points from the genuine (much longer) subject, e.g. a text, a film or an event. The aim is to help the audience get the gist in a short period of time. (Wikipedia)
 
The way we learn, remember and quickly recall has a strong relationship to the way we are able to process information without overloading our senses.
 
If our goal in understanding information is to quickly extract and convey meaning, then the use of summaries is essential. Summaries can be the key to understanding and reducing complex information to indispensable facts.
 
We can say that summaries are the bare models of thoughts and that summarized information represents the authorКјs best goals and intentions.

The act of instantly summarizing a web page can be an accelerator to quick understanding. By seeing the keywords in context, we, the readers, can quickly understand, connect and retain new information.

 
Summarization is relevant to all information workers, irrespective of their expertise.
 
When we read, we always have to parse the text. We read and re-read to extract the main statements. We underline important ideas and arguments according to the main statement. We work hard to assemble all the pertinent facts in logical order. And once all of this is done we then check if the summary reflects the original conclusions.
 
All of these hard and time consuming tasks can be greatly facilitated with the use of Context Organizer. With the click of a button, the essential keywords, sentences and context are revealed and highlighted. The keywords serve as a back-of-the-book index to the key statements and facts.
  
You may think about the Context Organizer summaries as an instant help in making sense by focusing on the key facts and conclusions only.
 
Context Organizer summaries allow busy professionals to save time.  It helps them to daily sift through copious amounts of information and rapidly review, compare and analyze information.
