Mind Mapping Reflection

Challenge and Selection    Mind Mapping is one of the tools that I use for design and planning my projects. This tool  is very useful for defining the problem that I need solving. I work with public programs  and projects about their performance and results. Always I have to describe and explain  which is the objective population, what is the problem that they face and how the  program or public intervention will impact your lives. When I answer these questions, I  have to present the information to the program operations, who usually are the Directors  on Public Institutions.     Mind Mapping have been a useful tool for explain the public problem and its impact in  the vulnerable population because allows me to order and structure ideas, understand  the problem, identify obstacles and difficulties, establish research methods, research and  get and register results and finally present to programs operators.    Application    I have used mind mapping on designing step of evaluation programs or projects. In the  problem definition step, this tool allows identify causes and effects, participating actors  and its impact on affected people. When I have this information, the next step is  established research methods. In this step I define if I need apply interview, polls,  storytelling, focus group or other techniques for collecting information, later I implement  the technique selected and finally, document results and make a report. In this process,  the structure, order and logical is provided that mind mapping.    Insight    The principal insight is giving order and structure at the ideas. Usually, when you have to  evaluate a public program you have to resume the information and identify the most  relevant for explaining public problem. For this activity you have a lot of information,  statistics, cases, law, process, documents, and so on and you have to synthesize, analyze  and discriminate, leaving only the information which contributes to    Approach    Mind mapping has been useful for my job and I use commonly, but in this course I learn  about the change, make different and think different and I would like check different tools  and study how can I apply it, maybe I can combine two of them. Now I want to prove  other way for doing research and obtain other kind of information.
