When Mindjet merged with innovation management company Spigit, we had one overarching goal in mind: to bring a repeatable business innovation solution to market, and to do it while staying true to our flagship MindManager product.
And so, in the spirit of moving forward and paying homage to our roots, here are 4 user-submitted mind maps on our new favorite topic.
Innovation: The Phoenix Checklist
Rumor has it the CIA was responsible for developing the Phoenix checklist (which would at least explain the provocative name), but even if that’s not the case, this map is an excellent tool for organizing problems and potential solutions. Insightful questions and the well-planned problem-solving path are smart, comprehensive, and applicable to a variety of situations.
The 8 Pillars of Innovation
Intelligent, intuitive, and informative, this map is an excellent resource for building out a program for innovation management (or at least reminding yourself of what it should look like). Our favorite? “Spark with imagination, fuel with data.”
The Creative Idea Implementation Plan
The CIIP is designed to address issues that keep creative ideas from making it past the brainstorming stage. This map lays out the process and is suitable for everything from complex business initiatives to smaller-scale, personal challenges.
The Myths of Innovation
Taking it much further than just identifying common innovation myths, this map gives you ways to overcome them. Plus, you’ll find creativity hacks and tips on how to stay motivated while you’re mapping out your innovation management program.
