Do you know which software Rich Schefren uses for this?

16 replies
Hey guys just curious as to which process mapping software Rich Schefren uses.

I think it may be Smart Draw but not too sure. I'm about to create some maps for a client of mine and would like to know which software Rich uses because his maps look so dam good and colorful.

Thanks,

Mike Hill

        Yep - MindJet is awesome.....but keep in mind that:

        Mind Mapping does NOT equal Process Mapping

        Two different things entirely.....Mind Mapping is assembling your knowledge into a manageable structure. Process Mapping is building a sequencing of actions in order. Some programs can do both but the "good" programs focus on one or the other.

        For instance, MindJet is excellent for Mind Mapping whereas Visio and SmartDraw are excellent for Process Mapping.

          Thank you for clearing up the definitions of Mind Mapping vs Process Mapping. Since I have been told I´m a typical "Mindmapper", this narrows down which type I should be usíng.

    So far I am thinking Brad is using Visio because of the special effects like shadows and box shading that is being used.

    What do you think?

    Never mind I figured it out... I took the Smart Draw for a test run and it's definitely it. A ton of options too.

    He uses Smart Draw, which is what I'm using as well. I think it's a great program, but doesn't have some of the usability that Mindjet does even though it's more aesthetically pleasing.

    Hey it's Brad Semp......finally back to the WF after a long hiatus. Our Cashmaps are actually built in MS Visio and then custom designed by my team. SmartDraw is an excellent program which is about the same price and functionality as Visio.

    Folks can also check out free, online process mapping resources at Gliffy.com.

    Happy Holidays to everyone!

    Sincerely,
    Brad

    I'll definitely second Brad's comment about how different mond mapping and process mapping are - I've tried to use mindmanager for process and it's impossible (at least for me).

    I've used Viseo in the past, in B school. Wonder why I don't have it anymore.

      I personally use Xmind for mindmapping and Visio for process mapping.

      From what I remember Rich and many other IM gurus use MindJet.
