We're a reseller for a major software vendor and most of our business is training and consulting. Most of us here are pretty inexperienced and most of the consultant dilemmas that we've encountered have turned out badly. One would think that there would be a blog titled "Top 10 consultant's dilemmas" and how to handle them but I find nothing like that. The above quote is from the organisation development world. Any suggestions for an IT person? Hi David;

It is a mind-map program and I find it fast and fluid. This program does not at this stage have any links with PM software. V0.9 which is due soon will have the ability to add attributes to the entries in the mind map and perhaps they could be linked up?
