It is good for beginner to utilize drawing and visualization for leading meeting， workshop， brainstorming， provlem solving， communication， etc。 The book provides guideline from basic drawing to template which are useful to begin to use in real working life。

A very nice， practical book about getting into visual story telling。 Not done with this yet， will need to practice some more。

The book is full of helpful information on working as a team， for both members and followers。 It also contains great ideas on how to visualize concepts and where to start。

I enjoyed this book。 Maybe because I understand concepts and ideas better seeing pictures and visual models。 Also， as an Agile-Lean Coach， one important part of my role is facilitating thinking at the team level and also at other levels of the organization。 On workshops or any kind of working session （i。e。 Discovering， Problem-solving， Alignment meetings） efficiency of time invested is not enough。 I believe guide and engage participants is key for collaboratively generate insights and better out I enjoyed this book。 Maybe because I understand concepts and ideas better seeing pictures and visual models。 Also， as an Agile-Lean Coach， one important part of my role is facilitating thinking at the team level and also at other levels of the organization。 On workshops or any kind of working session （i。e。 Discovering， Problem-solving， Alignment meetings） efficiency of time invested is not enough。 I believe guide and engage participants is key for collaboratively generate insights and better outcomes for effective meetings。 So this book is simple and easy to understand the basics of drawing simple objects and concepts， and then you can see many examples in teams or business scenarios， so you can be inspired and create your own visual facilitation。 The methods and recipes are briefly explained， so if you don't know them already， you maybe feel like is not enough to bring them to reality。 Visual Thinking at the end is not about drawing， but taking advantage of the thinking process and the collaborative and immersive approach to quickly co-discover and understand a problem， align vision， co-create strategies or objectives， experiment fast and cheap to validate your hypothesis。 This is the Lean Startup way， and this book was created like this。 So， you don't expect the ultimate Visual Thinking book， instead， you'll have in your hands an amazing MVP product with big potential。 。。。more

First part was good about drawing skills。 2nd part about using graphic skills in business contexts was of less interest to me （my fault for purchasing anyway ） but also not well explained IMHO。 Examples were vague。 Explanations also。 I've seen the same content done much better in other books。 First part was good about drawing skills。 2nd part about using graphic skills in business contexts was of less interest to me （my fault for purchasing anyway ） but also not well explained IMHO。 Examples were vague。 Explanations also。 I've seen the same content done much better in other books。 。。。more

Started off with practical examples on simple to follow techniques for drawing， then moves into ways you can use your new skills to improve yourself。

I’m not sure exactly what I was expecting going on， but this wasn’t exactly what I expected it to be。 I’m a designer， and a great deal of what was covered here was more of an overview of concepts， workflows， and processes that I’ve been using for years （and often know in more depth！）That said， there were useful tips I picked up along the way， and some bits & pieces that sparked ideas， even if they weren’t necessarily new to me。 I suspect that this would be an excellent book for non-design types I’m not sure exactly what I was expecting going on， but this wasn’t exactly what I expected it to be。 I’m a designer， and a great deal of what was covered here was more of an overview of concepts， workflows， and processes that I’ve been using for years （and often know in more depth！）That said， there were useful tips I picked up along the way， and some bits & pieces that sparked ideas， even if they weren’t necessarily new to me。 I suspect that this would be an excellent book for non-design types who aren’t exposed to this sort of stuff on a regular basis。 。。。more

Though I'm not the target audience （I'm a professor， not someone working in a cooperation）， I thought this book was accessible， engaging， and visually-appealling。 It takes readers through easy steps to make art， which is needed， as many adults literally freak out if they're asked to create something。 It also provides rationales for why to incorporate visual thinking that are persuasive。I do think Brand was lazy about citing her ideas and I also can't give anyone 5 stars who can't be bothered to Though I'm not the target audience （I'm a professor， not someone working in a cooperation）， I thought this book was accessible， engaging， and visually-appealling。 It takes readers through easy steps to make art， which is needed， as many adults literally freak out if they're asked to create something。 It also provides rationales for why to incorporate visual thinking that are persuasive。I do think Brand was lazy about citing her ideas and I also can't give anyone 5 stars who can't be bothered to use an Oxford comma， which both APA and MLA require now， but I liked it。The sketches of the author and contributors at the end are fun too！ 。。。more
