Mindmapping and Getting Things Done

Mindmapping and Getting Things Done - For this session, I'm continuing my discussions around MindMapping, and am speaking with Michael Scherotter, Solution Platform Product Manager at Mindjet (www.mindjet.com), makers of MindManager, a mindmapping package for Macintosh or Windows platforms, and who also runs the Mindjet Labs (www.mindjetlabs.com), and with Richard Love, Senior Director of Quality Systems at Stiefel (www.stiefel.com) a Pharmaceutical company - who is a user of MindManager. As you may guess from the title, we will be discussing Getting Things Done, both the concept as espoused by David Allen in his book Getting Things Done (or GTD as many know it), but also other applications of MindMapping, such as in doing research, manipulating Google search results, managing projects, designing databases, agile development, and so on.

As always, I invite all listeners to participate in the discussion, either by posting a comment or throwing a trackback from your blog to this blog (www.BizTechTalk.com), or be leaving me a voice message at my call-in number of 781-268-0716 and leave me a message regarding this post. Any interesting comments I get I will post to the blog (unless you prefer not to get your 15 megabytes of fame). NOTE: There is a limit of 2 minutes per recording, so you will need to be somewhat brief. Have your caffeine fix in advance of the call ;).

Enjoy!

Nick - Thanks for the commentary - hadn't known about the Yahoo! group, and always great to expand into the other credible sources for GTD, MindManager and MindMapping overall.

Cheers,
Dan
