The branch at the top right displays personal information and the creaffective branch contains important content which I need for managing my business. Many of the sub-branches in the start centre Mind Map link to other files containing areas of knowledge.
This means, for example, that with a single click on this start centre I can call up a document I need for preparing innovation workshops, or with two clicks I can recover the content of my course in the USA.
