Learning maps are radiant, nonlinear ways of organising information by showing the connection and inter-relatedness between the central topic, and supporting information. They are major visual mnemonics of ideas and information which can be used in many areas of business. Visual methods of displaying information have existed for thousands of years. Some languages have even evolved from hieroglyphics and pictograms. Examples of useful learning maps relevant to managers and learning map enthusiasts are shown throughout the text. They radically increase manager’s productivity.
