The board was able to quickly grasp this, and understand the need for more funding to meet the growth. My goal was not to drill down on particular programs or particular states, but to show how complex and large the organization had become in a short period of time. In June of this year I had the opportunity to present to the board of directors the programmatic growth of NICA at the 2012 NICA National Conference. Mind mapping has been essential to visualize and display the growth of the movement, but also the growth of the organization. I was hired to bring systems and methods to maintaining our leagues, as well as launching new leagues. Now, one year later, we have 9 leagues in 8 states. At that time, NICA had 4 leagues in 3 states. In February of 2012 I was hired as the Program Director for NICA, an organization that is bringing high school mountain biking to every state in the US. I will give an example, but first, a little context. How does Mindjet help with collaborative processes? By looking at a map, a viewer and quickly grasp the goal, or the ending of the story, without having to read each chapter. Mind mapping brings an artistry to business, and scenery to timelines and project management. More often then not, the content of a map is not as impactful as the overall story and impression of the map. I can’t speak to one feature that is the best (they are all great!), but I can speak to a surprising benefit to using maps as a communication tool. I have used mind maps for personal use, for outlining writing projects, and most recently at NICA for vision, collaboration, project management and planning. I also read the book, “The Cancer Code”, written by the founder, Mike Jetter.īeing a visual, creative and often out of the box thinker, the ability to quickly toss ideas onto paper in a non-linear and fun fashion, was not only addictive, but productive and freeing. The concept of mind mapping was foreign to me, yet I immediately connected with it.
I was introduced to Mindjet when my husband, Mike Duensing was hired in November of 2008 to become Vice President of Engineering for Mindjet. Title: Program Director, National Interscholastic Cycling Association ( NICA)
