“MindView is my go-to software on a daily basis”

Anna Hyams, the Director at IT-active Training Ltd, extensively uses MindView in her role. Here’s what she has to say:

“As a Trainer in my company IT-active Training, MindView is my go-to software on a daily basis. My job role involves training content creation, presentations, and project management. I often work with a team of associate trainers. I take a brief and specification from my manager or from the client, and create a training delivery flow. Initially, I used different tools for the individual tasks, which often caused confusion and duplication of work. I also found it difficult to learn the training content from a long text document (Instructor Guide/Manual). I am visual, and colour-coding is a basic filtering and organising feature for me.”

Anna found MindView addressed these issues right from the start. She appreciates its intuitive and clear design, balancing complexity and ease of use.

“From the start, I found that MindView addressed all of these issues and was very intuitive and clear: balancing complexity and ease of use. It integrates all the features I need, allowing me to capture and structure ideas during meetings, capture clients’ briefs efficiently, create and edit new training content, and enhance visuals with color-coded maps, icons, and filters.”

She often begins with existing templates, especially for project management, and values the flexibility of switching between different views.

“I often start with existing templates, especially for project management, which can then be edited. I then format it with the right styles and select the most useful view, often it is the fully editable Gantt chart. The flexibility allows me to switch between the different views quickly, managing the project and presenting it as a map, chart, text document, PDF, or image, based on individual preference of myself and my team or audience; and then export it for sharing.” For Anna, finding a logical flow in training creation and delivery is crucial. MindView makes this process easy and efficient. “During the process of training creation and delivery, finding a logical flow is vital. MindView enables me to edit content easily, re-organise the flow, test different options. I like using the “Branch Focus” feature to spotlight and draw attention to specific topics and remove any distractions. It is important to always have all the relevant support information linked and instantly accessible - the Attachment feature ensures that.”

Anna feels that MindView lets her create projects exactly how she needs them, making her feel organized, prepared, and efficient. “In one word: I end up with a project “my way”, exactly how I need it for my purpose and preference. And it is a live document, allowing me to quickly access the information or edit it. With MindView I feel organised, prepared, and efficient.”

Anna’s experience with MindView shows its value in streamlining her workflow, enhancing productivity, and meeting her visual and organizational needs.
