In the era of rapid development of artificial intelligence, we will find that our thinking skills sometimes do not fully meet our needs for thinking:
- New knowledge, AI software has been able to quickly produce the prototype version of mind map notes, but we do not know how to make good use of it, and transform it into more valuable mature thinking crystals that can show their own characteristics;
- New tasks, it is difficult to make overall plans, clearly define problems, prefer to use trivial affairs to avoid deep thinking;
- New ideas that fail to capture the interest of the audience may be missed out on more resources.
In the face of fierce competition, how can I become a calm conductor in my career? Only continue to improve our bottom thinking.
The characteristic of Mind Mapping is that it is natural, practical and innovative. After more than 50 years of grinding, it has been adopted by more than 2,000 multinational enterprises around the world, whether it is learning and growth, problem solving, or business expression and other high-frequency scenarios, have achieved obvious results. The various artificial intelligence apps that have sprung up in recent years also boast the ability to export mind maps as one of their selling points.

面对高速发展的人工智能时代，我们会发现，我们的思考技巧有时候不能完全满足我们对思考的需求：
新的知识，AI软件已经能快速产出雏形版的思维导图笔记，我们却不知道如何善加运用，将其转化为能展现自身特质的更有价值的成熟思考结晶；
新的任务，难以统筹规划，清晰界定问题，宁肯用琐碎事务来避开深度思考；
新的想法，未能引起受众的兴趣，可能与更多的资源失之交臂。
面对激烈的竞争，如何能够成为职业生涯淡定自若的指挥家？唯有持续提升我们的底层思考力。
思维导图思考法（Mind Mapping）的特点，在于它自然、实用和创新。历经五十多年时光的磨砺，已被全球超过2000家跨国企业导入采用，无论是学习成长、问题解决，还是商务表达等高频场景，均获得了显而易见的成效。近年如雨后春笋般的各种人工智能APP也都以能导出思维导图作为卖点之一。思维导图思考法不仅能提高我们的学习、工作效率，还能帮助我们有效感知自身的思维潜质，找到思维技术提升的突破点，进而在不断变化的时代中掌握先发优势，超越竞争，创造更多价值。
