Dave Rimmer
Managing Director, Unette Group, Crewe, United Kingdom

“Our planning was all being done in Word. Every time you wanted to move things and do a ‘what if,’ someone had to make multiple manipulations in their head and then try to change the plan, and then change it again — there was just no flexibility. We need to be able to do ‘what ifs’ and then be clear about what the impact of that change is. In MindGenius, it’s very easy to drag and drop and organise your thoughts in a logical manner.”

“We’ve got a tool we can really use to plan the production and sequence it in a better way and make it visible. So when the production manager isn’t about, people can get on and plan the next job for themselves. We’ve reduced downtime by about 15%.”

“I’ve used MindGenius extensively to write a one-page business plan for the year. I’d have on there the ‘vital few’ — the most important things I think we have to deliver. Those may be: increase sales by 20%, launch the new website, introduce a new range of packaging, introduce employee survey or create development plans.”

“In MindGenius, I’d then branch out from each of those to create subsections. So, if we are going to increase sales by 20%, where is it going to come from? It might be a new range of products. It might be to grow business among current key customers by 10%. I can then allocate the tasks to individuals and what the timescales are for those.”

“Once I’ve assigned resources to all the tasks, I can filter by resource to make sure the work is effectively distributed. When you organise by resource in MindGenius, you can quickly see who has the most work. When you look at the results you could be saying, ‘Hold on, I’m overloading this person.’ So then I ask myself: ‘Who else can do that?’”

“It was first shown to me by a colleague and I’ve been absolutely sold on it ever since because of its ease of use and its flexibility. You’re limited only by your imagination what you can use it for. I couldn’t live without it to be honest. I use it more than Excel, Word or PowerPoint. Normally, when I show it to other people they say ‘can we have it?’”

“It works the way your brain is wired and you can pretty much take it wherever you want it to go. The power is immense — it’ll blow you away.”

Todd Mellett
University of Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

(Note: These comments were written while Todd was a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania — and a member of a team that built a racing car from scratch three times to compete in a string of international competitions. He’s currently in Program Management at Ford Motor Company, Dearborn, Michigan, USA.)

“My background was in industrial engineering, so I was very process oriented. When I joined the team I noticed that it was disorganised. Communication wasn’t great and there wasn’t a great deal of organisation. The design and manufacturing people weren’t working together.”

“At the time the team president came to me to ask what we could do to make things more efficient. I looked at various software packages, and found that MindGenius did everything we were looking for — to plan and organise big processes and develop well-thought-through Gantt charts.”

“I found MindGenius intuitive and easy to learn quickly. We were able to download it and hit the ground running right away.”

“A lot of software packages have cumbersome user interfaces that are difficult to work with and that take a lot of time to learn, even if you are very capable. We needed something that we could start using right away. MindGenius gave us that ability. We could just get it and go. And I liked the level of support that came with it.”

“The software is also great as it teaches people who don’t normally appreciate these things the value of organised operations, and it helps make the design and manufacturing teams work together with one seamless schedule and one seamless project.”

“MindGenius really sparked an emphasis of the whole team to get organised and meet deadlines in an efficient manner. There was no more redoing work. Everything was planned and organised correctly. This represented a huge change in terms of the attitude of the team to project management.”

“We started writing down every component system in the car, from the high level down, breaking the car into as many sub-systems as possible. We then used the Gantt chart feature to map out how long it would take to create each component, and what components were needed before others.”

“We were then able to create a critical path, to understand what systems, and which had the longest lead time. MindGenius did a really good job of illustrating these.”
