In my latest quest to get more in touch with my creativity and in my continuing quest to satisfy my interest in all things human resource, I decided to combine the two pursuits into a mind mapping project. Mind mapping, a technique used to retain information through visual representation, was developed by brain and learning lecturer Tony Buzan. Mind Maps, as the official technique is referred, are used to "turn on" parts of your brain that you may not typically utilize when attempting to commit information to memory. Most people take notes and try to study those notes - according to the ThinkBuzan web site this is called "linear notation". Often, linear notation is ineffective and forces individuals to learn strictly by rote rather than establishing associations, meaning, and connection.
Check it out - it's actually a very interesting way to put thoughts down on paper and the result looks like something between a diagram and the spreading roots of a tree. Here's my attempt at mapping employee relations-related laws (click on the map to open a larger view):
