Collaborating means that a group of people needs to communicate for different purposes. For example, you need to schedule an event, create an agenda for a meeting, take minutes, brainstorm on a topic, discuss the pros and cons of a proposed marketing strategy, compare different products, and engage in decision making. Each purpose of communication requires different input and involves a different
dynamics. Effective communication means that participants must follow a strict structure and only input ideas and undertake actions that are strictly necessary to achieve the purpose of the communication. Mindool offers structured interfaces, called Mindools, that can make this happen for you. For example, if you need to brainstorm with your employees on what places to visit in New York, we have a Mindool type that provides a sharable list as a structured interface. Or, if you need to discuss the pros and cons to updating to Windows 10, we have a Mindool type that provides a sharable pro and con tree as a structured interface. For every purpose, we offer a different Mindool type. And if you have a purpose for which a new structured interface is needed, we will program it for you for free. In addition, we offer functionalities that make Mindools even more effective, such as deadlines, email notifications, print and export. You can choose the privacy level of your Mindools. You can make your Mindool public so that the world can collaborate with you. You can invite a group of people by emailing them the private URL link of your Mindool. And you can work with invited registered users on your Mindool in a password-protected area.
