Expanded Course Description and Textbook Information:

Human resources (people) are the primary asset of all organizations. Yet corporate downsizing has led to a de-energized and overwhelmed workforce. To be successful today, businesses must learn to tap the vast reserve of creativity buried in the workforce and to apply that creativity to solving critical business problems.

Visual System Mapping (VSM), thorough whole-brain thinking, is a powerful technique based on more than 40 years of research. VSM was inspired by a technique known as "Mindmapping." Mindmapping is the advanced thinking and learning technique developed by Tony Buzan in the late 1960's. It was designed to improve the use of the brain, leading to enhanced creativity and better results.

When compared to traditional methods, VSM is proven to yield greater creativity, increase collaboration, and improved results while simultaneously reducing the time and effort required for success. When applied to personal or professional activities, practitioners can expect to have fun while virtually guaranteeing breakthrough outcomes
