WATERFORD, Wis. - WisconsinEagle -- Mind mapping software is an essential tool that savvy executives rely on to help them bring order and clarity to complex issues and challenges, innovate more effectively and uncover new connections and insights in their work, according to participants in the 2019 Mind Mapping Software User Survey.

Published by the Mind Mapping Software Blog, this biennial survey showed that it increases the productivity and creativity of its users by an average of 30%, a 10% increase compared to the 2017 survey. Expert users enjoy even bigger gains.
