This webinar is brought to you by the OCAPPA Technology and Collaboration Subcommittee. Mind maps are a great productivity tool for brainstorming, analyzing and explaining complex problems and topics. They make it quick and easy to collect, sort, distill, organize and synthesize a wide variety of inputs and ideas into organized and coherent ‘chunks’. You can also use mind mapping for presenting, explaining, planning, learning, taking notes and so much more.
Hosted by Colleen McArthur, CAFM Administrator from Algonquin and OCAPPA T&C Subcommittee chair, this webinar will feature a conversation between Daniel Alonzo, Associate Director, Capital Development & Facilities Management at Humber using mind maps to visualize and communicate their preventive maintenance plan with his team and Phil Rouble, a retired Facilities Planner from Algonquin and longtime user of mind maps.
The webinar will focus on getting started with mind mapping using Xmind.
- It will show why you might want to use mind maps
- Creating a mind map with Xmind
- How you can use Xmind in facilities

The Cool Tools & Tips forum on the OCAPPA Discussion Board featured an earlier post “Mind Mapping – The Swiss Army Knife for Critical Thinking!” [Subscribe to this post with this LINK].
In a follow up comment, Rich McEvoy noted “I found XMind to be particularly helpful, recently, in discussing a project with a new staff member. We needed to create a project plan but had to sort out a number of elements to know where to begin. The tool allowed me to easily assemble my thoughts and goals. What seemed overwhelming at first was quickly brought under control using the tool. The new staff member was very appreciative of the approach and was able to grasp the problem and is working towards an effective plan.”
