Mind Map Templates for PowerPoint & Slides for Presentations

A mind map is a visualization technique to explore a central idea or concept and its related topics in a non-linear way. Elements stem from the center creating a structure that goes deeper into more levels. The new levels form and evolve as you further explore each item.

Mind Maps are an extensively used tool. It assists in generating an information structure during the brainstorming session, recording the process, and documenting it. Its visual design engages the whole brain thinking of the bigger picture, i.e., different ideas and connecting. Mind mapping exercises are used as a visual aid to clarify thoughts, identify relationships, simplify complex concepts, and memorize information. It is called a mind map because it visualizes how the brain functions to connect information analytically and creatively.

A Mind Map presentation template is an editable diagram designed to record the information structure of ideas association. Mind map presentations are visual modeling tools that allow users to manipulate information, knowledge, and ideas with unprecedented freedom.

Its primary design element is the central idea of the session. Generally built over a PowerPoint Shape, highlighted due to the position in the canvas and relative size compared to the other elements of the slide. The main idea has a placeholder for the user to edit.

The second design element is the tree (or graph) structure generated in the word association exercises. The diagram is generally built using the derivative words as nodes and their connections as edges in the diagram.
