Rather than just discussing company ideas in a social environment (perhaps with kludged diagrams), the mind mapping tools let colleagues consider every detail of a plan in a very formal way. Take the same scenarios as stated earlier. Among these three, XMind stands out for being based on an open-source platform. Such apps are a mixture of flow charting and project management tools.
Three other products-Mindjet MindManager 2016 for Windows, Expert Software Applications Mindomo, and XMind-are designed with mind mapping as their main function. But we think the general opportunity for Bloomfire, Front & Main Honey, or similar products is limited to the extent that tech giants such as Facebook fail to make headway in selling private installations to businesses. Modern software makes these collaboration tasks easier.īloomfire has some integration with Salesforce Chatter. Traditionally, such activities would happen by email or, at best, by using an intranet message board (if not physical memos). A saleswoman could answer negotiation questions posed by junior staff or the entire team could have a discussion about their upcoming holiday party. Anyone can search for past discussion topics, and there's typically a way to "like" and share the most useful threads.įor example, a product engineer could post an early draft of your company's latest widget to get department-wide feedback.
Colleagues, in turn, post answers and comments. Their general use involves posting a series of online surveys, questions, or suggestions for colleagues' consideration. You could think of these as social intranets in other words. Both products have a similar user experience (UX) to those of Facebook and Reddit.
Two products, Bloomfire and Front & Main Honey, emphasize social aspects of traditional knowledge management approaches.
