Evaluating An As-Built Foundation For A House

Here I present an image of the MindMap that I have developed for my services as an expert witness as the dispute between the home-owner and the contractor has landed in the court.

So, click on the image to look at the actual (interactive) MindMap.



I find that MindMapping helps me do brain-storming, penning down all the thoughts and concepts that come to mind and then organize, prioritize, levelize, and sequence the topics.

Then I can add notes, links, attachments, images, and so on to the related topics. I can expand the discussion on a particular topic by adding subtopics, and then expand or collapse the subtopic discussion depending on where my focus is at a given point in time.

MindMap helps me in keeping the overall perspective even while looking at a detail contained in a subtopic, an attachment, an image, or a hyperlinked site.

How did my expert witness testimony on this project go this morning? -- it went well, and of course it invogorates you when some real sharp attorneys are grilling you to spill all the beans -- did I say that ... Ah Well!

MindMap for Offering Services to a Manufacturer/Supplier Client

Offering Services

Here I present an image of the MindMap that I have developed for Offering services to a Manufacturer/Supplier Client.

So, click on the image to look at the actual (interactive) MindMap.




It will be nice to work with the embedded interactive MindMap directly rather than through a link from an image of the MindMap -- this way there will be no need to update the image whenever the Mindmap is updated or added on to. For now, I will work this way and we will see how it goes.

To work out the agreement with a particular client, the map will naturally have to be customized -- but that is of course natural as there will always be considerations that are unique in working with a specific client.

Interactive MindMap Linked to image of the MindMap

I have been trying to embed the actual (interactive) MindMap in my blog -- the closest I have been able to get this far is by adding an image of the MindMap and link the image to the actual (interactive) MindMap.

So, click on the image to look at the actual (interactive) MindMap.

I am going to continue to see whether I can embed the actual (interactive) MindMap in the blog.
