Okay. I'll take the bait. This send-up of mind mapping might have made sense about, oh, twenty years ago. I wonder where you've been lately. While there were, are and always will be hard-core kool-aid drinkers for any methodology, software has changed the way mapping is done. Sit in a conference room with a bunch of people and create, in real time, a map the brainstorming that goes on. Then, at the end of the meeting, assign someone to develop each of the promising ideas that have emerged. Give them a time line and links to the information they need. Use that map to manage the next meeting, and you will see your team's thinking and productivity increase. Mapping was quirky and cute. Now it's a critical business tool used by millions around the world. Welcome to the 21st century.
