Mind Mapping as the Missing Link. Biggerplate Unplugged San Francisco (2014)

In this talk, Biggerplate founder Liam Hughes explores how mind mapping can transform the way we think, plan, and manage information in today’s fast-paced world. Liam highlights the challenges of traditional, linear note-taking and explains why mind mapping offers a more powerful and intuitive alternative. By mimicking the brain’s natural way of working, mind maps help us organise ideas, make connections, and improve clarity—whether we’re solving problems, planning projects, or learning something new. With practical examples and real-world insights, this session makes the case for mind mapping as the missing link in modern knowledge work. It’s a must-watch for students, professionals, and anyone looking to improve their thinking and productivity.
