How to think visually
According to Dan Roam
Visual thinking is the future of business problem solving. Using our innate ability to see?both with our eyes and our mind?s eye?gives us entirely new ways to discover hidden ideas, develop those ideas intuitively, and then share those ideas with other people in a way they are simply going to ‘get’.
Really? The future? Of course Leonardo would probably think presenting problems and solutions visually was pretty mainstream in a renaissance kind of way. Dan has shared The 10 1/2 Commandments of Visual Thinking: The “Lost Chapter” from The Back of the Napkin with us. For free. Thanks, Dan.
As you build your business, more ideas and better ways to communicate those ideas clearly and quickly are essential. Jim, one of my favorite visual thinkers, helps explain some of the creative processes in the following videos. Thanks, Jim. As you look through the videos, think about how some of the ideas can be applied in your presentations.
