Mistakes to avoid
Mapping executive networks with mind maps

Get rid of your own view of things: analyzing what's behind the cards can reveal who the protagonists are in a given situation. Don't forget that the information in question is confidential, so discretion is essential.

In addition, you'll want a scalable map that allows you to vary the fields and types of information to be filled in.

Finally, don't draw any conclusions without cross-checking your information at least three times.
