It's Happening! Smarter software is turning mere data into real knowledge. In a recent Newsweek Issues 2006 article, Microsoft's Bill Gates comments on how intelligent agents and mind-mappers are taking our information democracy to the next stage. Per Gartner Research: In the future, tapping into the minds and information resources of individual knowledge workers and turning them into teams will bring great value to leading-edge enterprise.

This presentation will enlighten you to Visual Thinking & Mindmapping's power, its application, and use by today's corporate information workers. This presentation will be filled with real-world examples, software tools, and techniques to leverage information within today's organizations. Mindmapping tools, which maximize the power of information to create continuous productivity solutions and turning ideas into actions, will be investigated. The power of this smarter software will literally transform how we think--and help us finally realize the potential of a truly global knowledge economy.
