Dissertation Mind Maps

The mind maps that are detailed below are a second iteration of the cause\effect diagrams that I did for my dissertation.

 

The cause\effect diagrams were a ‘first pass’ of what I needed to do to complete my dissertation, they were the first step in producing a plan and a defined process for the dissertation.  They were not much more than a jumble of ideas.  I needed to produce something better, I was going to do a second set of cause\effect diagrams but then though that mind maps would be better.
