Wired Wessex event

Wired Wessex hosted a talk on Mind mapping on the twenty fourth of February, in an impressive newly refurbished Walton suite in Winchesters Guildhall. The event was held for local small business to give them the opportunity to see if mind mapping could benefit their company, as well as being able to network with other businesses. Many people will be wondering what exactly mind mapping is, well to simplify; it is essentially a way of organising anything from your business to your blog or even what daily tasks you need to carry out. The event that saw about fifty people attend, ranging from small to medium business owners, saw Andrew Wilcox gave a talk about the advantages of using mind mapping software to improve business productivity. Mind mapping is very similar to what most people will recognise as ‘brain storming’, writing down ideas on paper to help with a project such as an essay. Mind mapping allows you to put your ideas down on a vast database in your computer. Also you can link your ideas to websites, as well as to other mind maps. The people that attended the talk were impressed by the idea of mind mapping; Jane Michel, a local business woman, said ‘they research their audience by looking at the guest list and pull out appropriate points; I’d recommend the events to any local business’. Wired Wessex will be holding there next event on March 10th at the slug and lettuce in Winchester. For more information on wiredwessex events visit; www.wiredwessex.co.uk
