Illustrate your Business Plan!

We don’t all think in outlines. Let’s get together and create or simply illustrate the plan you already have. You’ll stay focused with an illustrated plan on your wall.

Why a Mind Map?

As with other diagramming tools, mind maps can be used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid to studying and organizing information, solving problems, making decisions, and writing.
Mind maps have many applications in personal, family, educational, and business situations, including note taking, brainstorming (wherein ideas are inserted into the map radially around the center node, without the implicit prioritization that comes from hierarchy or sequential arrangements, and wherein grouping and organizing is reserved for later stages), summarizing, as a mnemonic technique, or to sort out a complicated idea. Mind maps are also promoted as a way to collaborate in color pen creativity sessions.

Take a look at this mind map for artist Laura Wood’s business.

 

Here was my plan for self care last year.

Remember the Mission.

Love them or hate them, retreats, trainings, engagements can be socially, and emotionally draining and even time consuming.

Without depleating team goals and missions or trainings, Missions Illuminated takes all the “eye rolling,” energy of corporate teamwork and turns it into collaborative creation.

The end product, whether its a company team build, church retreat or youth training, is a monument to the mission you have and testament those who built it–making it a lot harder to forget the mission.

Ditch the RFP for and Artist-In-Residence.

Team building and retreats are events that help groups communicate, create goals and define missions. However, after the retreat there is rarely a “product,” or symbol that chronicles what happened.

Usually, reports are written up and secured by upper level management and other participants go back to work and memories of the retreat fade. Illuminated Missions have stakeholders and employees communicate a more memorable way.

By collaboratively creating an artistic work that serves as  symbol for goals, missions and voice and is accessible to all involved.
