VisiMap User Survey Request Gets Excellent Response

One of the ways for any business to find out what the customers think of their products is to ask them - but it is interesting how seldom companies do it in a simple way. CoCo Systems and Dynamic Thinking sent out a question early in 2008 to a number of valued customers asking them "How has VisiMap helped you in your life and your work?"  The response has been gratifying and overwhelming. We are reviewing the responses and will publish some of the findings soon. As a thank you, respondents received a free downloadable copy of See What You Think! How to work better and faster with VisiMap.

Thanks to all who participated - and it's still not too late to send your response.

Launch of New Book

HELP FOR PEOPLE SHORT OF IDEAS AND TIME

 Toronto ON Canada November 6, 2006. Dynamic Thinking announces the publication of See What You Think! How to Work Better and Faster with VisiMap. The book addresses the needs of people who are pressured to come up with good ideas in limited time. It teaches you the whys and hows of visual mapping as an alternative and quick way to develop, organize and refine your ideas.

 Based on  brain research in thinking preferences and idea generation, the book explains why using visual mapping is to your advantage. It also helps you understand how you think and why others think differently. Armed with this basic knowledge, you can learn to write reports,  make presentations, plan projects, work in teams and bring new ideas to birth in half the time.

 “I was frustrated for years by watching people throw good ideas out the window because they didn’t know how to move things ahead, - and I also had a similar problem” says Norah Bolton, a Toronto based consultant and educator. “After finding better tools for myself, I  shared them with my consulting clients, and I have enjoyed watching them use visual mapping successfully. This book allows me to share these tools with a wider audience. Using VisiMap, visual mapping software that’s inexpensive and simple to learn, makes the process even more effective”.

 See What You Think, How to Work Better and Faster with VisiMap is available in both print and download editions.  Full colour downloadable editions are available through CoCo Systems, at the VisiMap online shops. It is also available in print editions at the Dynamic Thinking BookStore

 Dynamic Thinking offers consulting, training and software to a range of business, not-for-profit and government clients including Royal Bank of Canada, Coca Cola, GlaxoSmithKline, TransCanada, Toyota and the governments of Canada, Ontario and British Columbia. Over the past 25 years  its founder and president, Norah Bolton, has presented workshops and seminars for the Canadian Professional Sales Association, the Ontario Society for Training and Development and she has also worked with several major Canadian universities.
