I'm not decrying the concept at all - but it fundamentally is just a brain-storm made to look prettier by the addition of colour, which has long been a recommended technique of brain-storming. Don't get me wrong, brain-storming is an extremely useful process, especially being able to turn a whiteboard brain-storm into something visually engaging like the above, but I'm just a fan of calling a spade and spade, rather than a sharp edged, long handled, digging tool.
