Summary.
Problem-solving is a key skill that can help you succeed. Problems or obstacles occur all the time, and it is important that you can provide quick and imaginative solutions to them. Problem-solving is one of the significant attributes looked for by universities and employers, as it displays both logical and creative thinking. When deciding on the best solution to a problem, you should use authoritative models and theories within scholarly and practitioner literature, using focused search techniques, to assess their credibility, relevance, and applicability for a specific leadership, marketing, or information management problem. One tool to help you is MindMap.
A MindMap is a great way to collate all your information about the problem and any resources that could form a solution. For example, you can drag and drop any files into your Mind Maps – perhaps a budget spreadsheet, a video, or a Word document – taking the ‘Big Picture’ aspect of Mind Mapping to a new level. With a range of information at your fingertips, all in one Mind Map, you feel more ready for problem-solving and control than ever before. iMindMap also includes focus applications, such as Focus In and Out and Expand and Collapse Branches which can help you navigate your problem and focus your mind.
Benefits of Mind Maps for problem-solving
Mind Maps contain all the elements of your problem in one visual ‘take.’ Here’s why they are so helpful for problem-solving:
Mind Maps prioritize the most critical aspects of your problem, focusing on your mind.
Using colors and images stimulates your brain, meaning you are engaged and ready to solve the problem.
Using radial thinking, your brain generates more ideas and associations for many solutions.
