One of the biggest risks in managing a project is tunnel vision — people get so absorbed in their own piece of the work that they lose sight of how it connects to everything else. A mind map fixes exactly that: it lets you hold the big picture and the fine detail in view at the same time.

This Training Course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy shows entrepreneurs and project managers how to turn a single central idea into a structured, colour-coded map of branches — using one keyword per branch rather than full sentences — so that thinking stays organised, memorable, and genuinely useful for running a project or a business.

Who this training course is for:

• Entrepreneurs and project managers who want fresh, structured ways to plan and execute their work.

What participants take away:

• Practical techniques for boosting mental and creative capacity at work.
• How to build and apply mind maps directly inside real projects.
• How to use intuitive, associative thinking in managing a business.
