I keep coming back to MindManager however for the ability to export / import connecting to Word and PowerPoint. But it is $300 plus and Freemind is more widely available.

This is especially the case, it seems, when there are large corporations involved. As companies become increasingly multi-national, multi-branched, and multi-subsidiaried, the relationships between them and between other companies is not always intuitive. I think this would be a great tool for getting this figured out in a more professional manner than my circles-and-lines-on-lined-paper. I could then actually share something like this to confirm my thinking is correct.

I'm thinking it would be a good brainstorming tool for when I teach strategic planning in my Law Library Administration course. I just downloaded FreeMind a few days ago.
