| Mind Mapping |
The underlying concepts behind mind mapping are over 2000 years old but we can thank Tony Buzan for developing and spreading the concept in more recent times. Those that are familiar with it will be aware how it can transform your effectiveness. For those that are unfamiliar with mind mapping you can read a short explanation here. MindJet provide a programme the produces mind maps and significantly enhances their effectiveness and use. Your brain doesn't process in a linear fashion. So stop forcing your thoughts into an outline. Instead, unleash your mind with highly visual, interactive technology designed to capture ideas, data and knowledge in a limitless arrangement that lends clarity to any task or project. When you can see the details up close, as well as the big picture in clear view, you can build meaningful, multi-dimensional relationships between information - and share it with everyone on your team. This leads to well-informed decisions, swift and confident action, and everyone's favorite: results. Some call it mind-mapping. We call it common sense. And MindManager is the software that brings it to life. |

| Planning and Control Software |
This is a programme produced by Gyronix as an ad in to MindManager. It is an exceptionally powerful programme to help you plan and run projects more effectively, manage your time and ensure that you stayed focused and maintained momentum. It also provides a uniquely effective way to coordinate multiple people and projects. It is based on David Allen's Getting Things Done paradigm. With the right templates it can be used to replace our own paper based Focus Time Management system. |

| Intranet/Extranet |
Intranets and extranets make it possible to share data and documents and work in a highly collaborative way with employees at remote sites and with customers. Any organisation that has employees' working away from their home base, or has to need to share significant quantities of documents with their customers will find one invaluable. Using WebOffice you can create an intranet/extranets rapidly and at negligible cost. It also requires only the most basic IT skills. You may be familiar with Microsoft 's Sharepoint which is used extensively by large organisations to create intranets and extranets. It is an excellent program but it is expensive to implement takes a considerable amount of time and its maintenance generally requires full time IT personnel. All of which makes it unsuitable for most small or medium sized companies. WebOffice makes it possible not only to share documents but also to share applications, your computer desktop and even conduct meetings over the Internet with up to 100 people. |

At that stage we run an assessment day to really look at the candidates to ensure you get the right person. So confident are we that if we get it wrong we will repeat the exercise should the person leave within a year. |
