Structured Knowledge Application

Individuals and organizations face the challenge of bringing their best knowledge to bear on tasks and challenges.  I use Map Parts from MindManager X5 Pro as a tool in this regard.  For example, if I'm beginning work on a presentation, I click on the Presentations map part I created, and inserted in my map is a set of topics grouped at level 1 like this:

.

.

These major categories organize the best suggestions I've come across for thinking about a presentation.  In it's full complexity, it could be overwhelming at first glance:

And, as I gain new perspectives, I can add it in, as seen in the subcategory for persuasion shown below.  It contains information from Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion.

Notice the power of this tool to propagate an understanding or technique through an organization.   Or, even for an individual, to help best practices to bear consistently, even to tasks that arise sporadically.
