Joe,
I would suggest you get a copy of the book TRANSFORMATION THINKING by
Joyce Wycoff. This book has some wonderful ways to use Post-It notes to
do mind-maps and all sorts of other group thinking things. I have used
adaptations of her stuff in workshops on improving meetings. By having
participants identify their own issues, examine the process, and create
their own solutions, I can cover in less than two hours as much material
as I used to cram into four hours. Participants are delighted !!! at this
deviation from the overhead lectures they are used to from others, and are
actually using what they are learning. Radical, no?
Good luck. I'll look forward to other suggestions too.
