Esta dissertação tem como objetivo o estudo da aplicabilidade e dos eventuais benefícios do Mind Map na gestão de projetos em áreas de consultoria, desenvolvimento de negócios e produtos. Como objetivos secundários, este estudo apresenta aplicações práticas do Mind Map, no ambiente empresarial, além de trazê-lo ao ambiente acadêmico brasileiro. O referencial teórico, dividido em duas partes, introduz, primeiramente, a gestão de projetos, a partir da visão de seus principais autores acadêmicos. A segunda parte traz, com maior profundidade, uma revisão bibliográfica do Mind Map, apresentando sua definição, princípios, leis, benefícios, aplicações e quatro casos de sucesso no mercado corporativo. A metodologia de pesquisa adotada nesta dissertação foi estudo de caso múltiplo, com cinco gestores, de quatro organizações atuantes no setor de serviços, que utilizam o Mind Map como ferramenta de gestão de projetos de consultoria, desenvolvimento de negócios e produtos. Como instrumento de coleta de dados, foram feitas entrevistas roteirizadas individuais com cada um dos gestores, realizadas pelo próprio pesquisador, além da coleta de dados secundários de domínio público. As conclusões, apresentadas neste trabalho, revelam que o Mind Map potencializa várias das habilidades necessárias a um bom gestor de projetos, permitindo uma melhor qualidade da sua prática de gerenciamento, principalmente no que tange ao planejamento e acompanhamento do escopo do projeto. Entretanto, ficou evidente a necessidade de um software de Mind Map, muitas vezes apoiado por outros programas clássicos normalmente utilizados em gestão de projetos, para que os objetivos fossem atingidos mesmo diante da complexidade dos casos analisados.

Creativity is nowadays considered for important manager character. Creativity assist adapt to changing and transforming entrepreneurial environments. Creative method of mental map is able to interception flow of ideas and analyses these maps is able to expose principle behaviour of the human brain.

Mind-Mapping ist eine effiziente und universelle Kreativitätstechnik, die es ermöglicht, in einer Gruppe ein komplexes Thema aufzuschlüsseln. Dabei wird eine Assoziation verschiedener Schlüsselwörter, Notizen und Grafiken zu einem zentralen Begriff vorgenommen und dadurch eine Möglichkeit zur schrittweisen kompakten Visualisierung eines Themengebietes geschaffen. Große interaktive Display Walls erlauben durch ihre Fläche und ihre interaktiven Möglichkeiten das kollaborative Erstellen von Mind-Maps, so dass jeder Nutzer individuell Teile kreieren und der gemeinsamen Mind-Map beifügen kann. In dieser Ausarbeitung werden geeignete Interaktionskonzepte zur Erstellung von Mind-Maps an interaktiven Display Walls vorgestellt. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf den Möglichkeiten der Erkennung der Nutzerposition vor der Display Wall, um jedem Benutzer eine persönliche Linse und damit Zugriff auf persönliche Werkzeuge zu ermöglichen, sowie der Interaktion mittels Stift und Touch zum Zwecke der Erstellung und Platzierung von Mind-Map Elementen. Dafür werden zunächst verwandte Arbeiten aus den Bereichen: Mind-Maps, Kollaboration und Interaktion mit interaktiven Display Walls und Magische Linsen analysiert. Basierend auf einem Grundverständnis dieser drei Domänen wurden Konzepte zur kollaborativen Erstellung von Mind-Maps an interaktiven Display Walls mit persönlichen Linsen präsentiert. Ausgewählte Konzepte wurden dabei in einer prototypischen Implementierung umgesetzt und boten erste aussichtsreiche Einblicke, wie das Mind-Mapping der Zukunft erfolgen könnte. Dabei wurde insbesondere der Nutzen einer persönlichen Linse, als individuelle Visualisierungs- und Interaktions-Schnittstelle erkannt. / Mind-mapping is an effective and universal creativity technique, which allows to break down complex topics in a group activity. Therefore keywords, notes or images are being associated to a superordinate topic, in order to gradually create a compact visualization of a topic. Large interactive display walls allow the collaborative creation of mind-maps due to their size and options for interaction so that the users can individually create parts and integrate them into the collective mind-map. As part of this thesis, suitable concepts for the creation of mind-maps on interactive display walls are being presented. In this context, the emphasis is lying on the possibilities of using the position of the user in front the display wall, in order to offer every user a personal lens and thus access to personal tools, as well as the interaction with pen and touch in order to create and move mind-map-elements. Therefore related work of the topic areas: mind-maps, collaboration and interaction at interactive display walls and Magic Lenses will be analysed at first. Based on a fundamental understanding of these three domains, concepts for the collaborative creation of mind-maps on interactive display walls using personal lenses are being presented. Selected concepts were prototypically implemented and offered first promising insights on how the mind-mapping of the future could be done. In the process the particular benefit of a personal lens as an individual visualization- and interaction-interface has been recognized.

Prediking is 'n dialoog. Dit dompel die preek in 'n direkte krisis. Wat kan die prediker doen om hierdie dialoog te bevorder? Die deelnemers in die erediens word kortliks bespreek. God spreek met die prediker deur die teks. Die prediker moet hierdie teks aan die hoorder in die erediens oordra. Om die oorspronklike teks te verstaan het daar drie hoofstrome in die tradisionele hermeneuse ontstaan: Krities-histories, Tekskrities en Hoorders hermeneutiek. Die probleem is egter nie opgelos nie. Hoe kan die prediker die boodskap effektief aan die hoorder oordra? Daar word voorgestel dat die kreatiewe proses gebruik word in die voorbereiding van die preek. Die breinkaart kan gebruik word om die teks en hoorder van die teks, beter te verstaan. Hulpmiddelle moet gebruik word om die teks aan die hoorder oor te dra. Hier word die gebruik van literatuur en drama bestudeer. / Preaching is a dialogue. This states the current problem of preaching. How can the preacher improve this dialogue in the sermon? The participants in the sermon are shortly discussed: The preacher listens to the text. God speaks through the text. The preacher must communicate this text to the listener in the sermon. Three major streams have evolved in the tradisional hermeneutics: Critical-historical, Textual and Listeners hermeneutics. There is however, still a problem. How does the preacher present this message effectivly to the listener? It is suggested that the creative process must be considered in preparing a sermon. The mind map can be used to understand the text and listener of the text better. More aids can be used to reach the listener effectivly. In this thesis the use of literature and drama in the preparing and delivering of the sermon will be studied. / Practical Theology / M.Th. (Practical theology)

This master thesis introduces term time management and describes steps for its successful implementation to our practical life. The aim of this thesis is to describe students´of University of Economics knowledge of this term and found out if study on this university and mainly passing course Management of Personal Development can expand their knowledge of this term. Mind mapping is used to deal with this aim. These mind maps ilustrate what students ideas about this term are. From the mind maps´ analysis arise that students of this university know time management very well, however passing the Management of Personal Development can highly expand this knowledge.

The thesis discusses using mind maps in English language teaching. It explains what mind maps are and how to use them effectively. This thesis includes a theoretical as well as a practical part. The theoretical part offers two points of view of the problem - psychological and pedagogical. The psychological part deals with theoretical knowledge of memory and learning. In the pedagogical part, firstly learning styles in connection with mind maps are discussed; secondly some demonstrations of using mind maps in various English textbooks are presented. The practical part focuses mainly on new ideas. First chapter of the practical part shows various classroom or individual mind map activities that concentrate on different language skills. The second chapter is the most important section of the whole thesis as it introduces a new method for learning vocabulary via mind maps. Observations of four students using the method and reflections on it are offered in the following chapters. Finally, the results and conclusions of the observations as well as the advantages and disadvantages of mind maps in general are presented.
